QTL mapping of flowering time and biomass yield in tetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Abstract Background The genetic and genomic basis of flowering time and biomass yield in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) remains poorly understood mainly due to the autopolyploid nature of the species and the lack of adequate genomic resources. We constructed linkage maps using genotyping-by-sequencing...
