High-density linkage map construction and mapping QTL for yield and yield components in autotetraploid alfalfa using RAD-seq
Abstract Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop grown worldwide. Alfalfa is called the “queen of forage crops” due to its high forage yield and nutritional characteristics. The aim of this study was to undertake quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of yield and yield-re...
