Germplasm improvement in pasture legumes by developing core collections
One of the strongest candidates for new crops suited to the style of agriculture in southern Australia is the annual pasture legumes belonging to the genus T ri f olium L.( clover ).T.spumosum L.( bladder clover ), a species from medditerranean region is only one of several species considered to be fulfilling this need in southern Australia (Loi et al.2003) T.subterraneum L.( subterranean clover) is the most widely sown annual pasture legume species in southern Australia (Sandral et al.1997 ) Little effort has been given to evaluating and characterizing the genetic diversity available within the former species while the latter species has one of the largest pasture legume seed collections in the wrold.The creation of a core collection assists in future development of cultivars in the two species (Van hintum et al.2000).Ecogeographical and molecular data are combined to generate the most representative core collections for the species.
