“…Ball et al (2002) discussed the advantage of maintaining a 5-to 10-cm height during spring grazing compared to the detrimental eff ects of excessive forage accumulation on extended productivity of this species. Intensive management with annual planting and infrequent harvest through rotational stocking or mechanical harvest can benefi t upright-growing species such as berseem (Ball et al, 2002) and red (Evers and Dorsett, 1986) clovers, while heavier grazing pressure and even continuous stocking along with dependence on plant persistence or natural reseeding for sustained stands favors ball and the intermediate white clovers (Brink et al, 1999;Ball et al, 2002;Bouton et al, 2005b). Thus, providing appropriate opportunity involving site and management may be particularly critical for success with this species and perhaps only slightly less so with the other clover species.…”

Contributions of Overseeded Clovers to Bermudagrass Pastures in Several Environments

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], a base forage in southeastern United States livestock production, often fails to meet nutrient requirements of some classes of livestock. Contributions of arrowleaf (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi), ball (Trifolium nigrescens Viv.), berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), crimson (Trifolium incarnatum L.), red (Trifolium pratense L.), and white (Trifolium repens L.) clovers to overseeded bermudagrass swards were compared with monoculture bermudagrass receiving 0, 112, or 225 kg ha−1 of N fertilizer on a range of sites. Berseem and crimson clovers produced up to 2.2 Mg ha−1 in March and early April, with berseem particularly reliable on fertile silt loam soils. Red clover was about 3 wk later with growth continuing until July most dependably at the more northern of the loam‐soil locations. Intermediate white clover, although not managed optimally for the species, was a productive late clover only at the southern location. All clovers overseeded on Darley fine sand were unsuccessful both years. Variable responses among clover species and sites from overseeded bermudagrass indicate that this clover production approach is very site specific in the lower southeastern United States.

“…There are notable cases, however, in which foreign cultivars have made excellent parents when combined with local ecotypes (Bouton et al, 2005). At the extremes, local adaption of ecotypes can outperform bred material (Annicchiarico, 1993;Brink et al, 1999).…”

“…In addition to its nitrogen fixing ability, white clover is also one of the most nutritious and palatable legumes used in pastures to improve forage quality. White clover is hence a common companion species in cool-season, and to some extent warm-season, perennial grass pastures (Brink et al 1999). …”

Genome mapping of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and comparative analysis within the Trifolieae using cross-species SSR markers

Allotetraploid white clover (Trifolium repens L.), a cool-season perennial legume used extensively as forage for livestock, is an important target for marker-assisted breeding. A genetic linkage map of white clover was constructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers based on sequences from several Trifolieae species, including white clover, red clover (T. pratense L.), Medicago truncatula (Gaertn.) and soybean (Glycine max L.). An F 1 population consisting of 179 individuals, from a cross between two highly heterozygous genotypes, GA43 and Southern Regional Virus Resistant, was used for genetic mapping. A total of 1,571 SSR markers were screened for ampliWcation and polymorphism using DNA from two parents and 14 F 1 s of the mapping population. The map consists of 415 loci ampliWed from 343 SSR primer pairs, including 83 from white clover, 181 from red clover, 77 from M. truncatula, and two from soybean. Linkage groups for all eight homoeologous chromosome pairs of allotetraploid white clover were detected. Map length was estimated at 1,877 cM with 87% genome coverage. Map density was approximately 5 cM per locus. Segregation distortion was detected in six segments of the genome (homoeologous groups A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and D1). A comparison of map locations of markers originating from white clover, red clover, and alfalfa (M. sativa L.) revealed putative macro-colinearity between the three Trifolieae species. This map can be used to link quantitative trait loci with SSR markers, and accelerate the improvement of white clover by marker-assisted selection and breeding.
