Drought tolerance in tetraploid alfalfa

摘要：

Alfalfa is one of the most important cultivated forage legumes worldwide.Drought is one of the most important factors limiting yield in crop plants, including alfalfa.Drought tolerance mechanisms are genetically and physiologically complex indicating a quantitative inheritance (Valliyodan et al.,2006).The objectives of this study were to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with yield under drought stress and to develop and map molecular markers derived from transcription factor genes sequences previously implicated in drought tolerance.
