Abstract excerpt
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil-borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits. With increasing climate-related stresses, harnessing adaptive traits absent in current cultivars is critical. Genebanks...
