Abstract:White clover (Trifolium repens) is a stoloniferous legume herb native to Eurasia, which had been introduced and spread globally. In Brazil, it was introduced as forage crop. While previous studies focused mainly on its agricultural benefits, much remains unclear about its territorial dynamics, introduction process and potential threats in Brazil. This study aims to estimate the genetic diversity of naturalized white clover populations in Brazil and assess the influence of cultivars into these populations diver… Show more
