Genetic mapping of biomass production in tetraploid alfalfa (2007, background): “Biomass yield heterosis has been identified in alfalfa (reviewed in Brummer, 1999; Riday and Brummer, 2002), but hybrid alfalfa cultivars have not been a focus of most breeding programs, with only a few hybrid cultivars commercially available (e.”
Applied Genetics and Genomics in Alfalfa Breeding (2012, background): “The source germplasm groups for developing hybrids could be the subspecies sativa and falcata [33–36].”
Comparisons of genetic and morphological distance with heterosis between Medicago sativa subsp. sativa and subsp. falcata (2003, methodology): “Total biomass yield was measured on each entry over two harvests in 1998 and over three harvests in 1999 ( Riday & Brummer, 2002a ).”
