Self Incompatibility, Inbreeding Depression, and Potential to Develop Inbred Lines in Alfalfa: A Review

2020-11-13

Abstract excerpt

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a perennial, outcrossing legume crop predominantly grown for hay, silage, or pasture. Intensive selection has resulted in dramatic improvement in fitness traits, including winter survival and disease resistance. However, there has been minimal improvement in other economically important traits, such as hay yield, which is still comparable to 30 years ago. Intensive phenotyping costs...
