Improved forage quality and biomass yield of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) by Arabidopsis QQS orphan gene

Improving the forage quality of alfalfa in terms of digestibility and crude content is essential for any alfalfa quality breeding programs. Arabidopsis thaliana orphan gene QQS (Qua-Quine Starch) has been shown to improve protein content and alter carbohydrate composition in different food crops. Ho...
