Integrating morphological and molecular characterization to reveal genetic diversity and breeding potential in Turkish local alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) populations.

Abstract excerpt

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most important forage crops due to its high crude protein content, nitrogen fixation ability, and adaptability to diverse ecological conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, phenological, yield, quality, and molecular diversity of 60 local alfalfa populations, together with 4 control varieties (64 genotypes in total), collected as clones from the Lakes...
