    A genome-wide association study reveals novel loci and candidate genes associated with plant height variation in Medicago sativa

    Plant height (PH) is an important agronomic trait influenced by a complex genetic network. However, the genetic basis for the variation in PH in Medicago sativa remains largely unknown. In this study, a comprehen...
