Association Mapping of Biomass Yield and Stem Composition in a Tetraploid Alfalfa Breeding Population

Alfalfa ( L.), an important forage crop that is also a potential biofuel crop, has advantages of high yield, high lignocellulose concentration in stems, and has low input costs. In this study, we investigated population structure and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns in a tetraploid alfalfa breed...
