Abstract:Cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) is a non-bloating perennial forage legume suitable for stockpiled grazing in the fall because of its rapid regrowth and high nutritive value. Genetically diverse germplasm are needed for the development of improved cicer milkvetch cultivars that can provide consistent production across variable climatic conditions. The objective of this research was to assess the diversity and relationship of 27 cicer milkvetch populations to inform the selection of populations for future … Show more
“…There is also a genetic and molecular basis to understanding soybean (Glycine max L.) seed germination in response to waterlogging and cold climate (Suo et al 2023). Genetic adaptability will also be critical to the selection of forage crops such as cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.), a non-bloat perennial forage legume that thrives in colder climates and produces high yields of digestible livestock feed in the colder months (MacTaggart et al 2023).…”
