Construction of two genetic linkage maps in cultivated tetraploid alfalfa (<it>Medicago sativa</it>) using microsatellite and AFLP markers

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Alfalfa (<it>Medicago sativa</it>) is a major forage crop. The genetic progress is slow in this legume species because of its autotetraploidy and allogamy. The genetic structure of this species makes the construction of g...
