Identification of genetic loci associated with crude protein and mineral concentrations in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) using association mapping
Abstract Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is one of the most important legume forage species in China and many other countries of the world. It provides a quality source of proteins and minerals to animals. Genetic underpinnings for these important traits, however, are elusive. An alfalfa (M. sa...
