Abstract

Red clover is an important forage crop. A problem in the production is low seed yield, especially in some cultivars. This is potentially influenced by different genetic properties among cultivars. This project aims to find canditate genetic markers related to seed yield among ~350 red clover cultivars. This will be performed with GWAS, using seed yield and allel frequencies from pooled individuals within the accessions.
