Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for Forage Traits in Intermediate Wheatgrass When Grown as Spaced-Plants versus Monoculture and Polyculture Swards
It has been hypothesized that the genetic control of forage traits, especially biomass, for grass plants growing as spaced-plants versus swards is different.Likewise, the genetic control of compatibility in grass−legume polyculture mixtures is assumed to be different than for forage production in a grass monoculture.However, these hypotheses
