Open AccessMap** freezing tolerance QTL in alfalfa: based on indoor phenoty**
Winter freezing temperature impacts alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) persistence and seasonal yield and can lead to the death of the plant. Understanding the genetic mechanisms of alfalfa freezing tolerance (FT) usin...

QTL map** of biomass and forage quality traits measured using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) in switchgrass
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial warm-season grass that can serve dual purposes, forage and biofuel feedstock. Because the cell wall accounts for more than half the dry matter weight, breeding for...

Open AccessQTL map** of flowering time and biomass yield in tetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
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 r...

Candidate gene association with summer dormancy in tall fescue
Two main types of summer dormancy in tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort] are recognized, eco-dormancy and endo-dormancy. Endo-dormancy is a physiological response to environmental signals lead...
