Genetic and seasonal variation in forage quality of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) for resilience to climate change in arid environments

This study assesses seasonal variation in forage quality traits among 12 lucerne (Medicago sativa L.), half-sib breeding lines tailored for Tunisian arid regions. Distinct classes of lines were identified based on chemical composition, in vitro digestibility, the relative feed value (RFV) and total...
