Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is known for its large taproot, nitrogen fixation capabilities and production of forage high in protein digestibility. It has the potential to strengthen temperate pastural systems against future adverse climatic events by providing higher biomass during periods water deficit. Being outcrossing self-incompatible, red a highly heterozygous species. If evaluated utilized correctly, this genetic diversity can be harnessed develop productive, persistent...
ABSTRACT Red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) globally is an important pastoral species, used to strengthen pasture mixes and produce highly nutritious forage. To ensure its continued use effectiveness, new adaptable cultivars must be developed. Breeders have continuously harnessed diversity improve the genetic potential of a key part this introduction wild germplasm. This material brings assortment variation for morphological traits crop improvement adaptation. A row‐column experimental...
White clover ( Trifolium repens L.) is a major contributor of productivity and ecological services in pastures rangelands worldwide. breeding recognized as priority many countries with pastoral‐based livestock system. The objective this study was to provide an updated estimate the rate change genotypic value attributable population improvement white clover, using set 80 cultivars released between 1920 2010 by public private plant programs across 17 countries, experiment evaluate forage yield...
Breeding higher yielding forage species is limited by current manual harvesting and visual scoring techniques used for measuring or estimation of biomass. Automation remote sensing high throughput phenotyping has been in recent years as a viable solution to this bottleneck. Here, we focus on using RGB imaging deep learning white clover (Trifolium repens L.) perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne yield mixed sward. We present new convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture designed semantic...
Abstract Allotetraploid white clover ( Trifolium repens ) formed during the last glaciation through hybridisation of two European diploid progenitors from restricted niches: one coastal, other alpine. Here, we examine which hybridisation‐derived molecular events may have underpinned clover's postglacial niche expansion. We compared transcriptomic frost responses clovers (an inbred line and an alpine‐adapted ecotype), extant descendants its progenitor species a resynthesised neopolyploid to...

Here, we examine which hybridisation-derived molecular events may have underpinned clover’s post-glacial niche expansion. We compared transcriptomic frost responses clovers (inbred line and an alpine-adapted ecotype), extant descendants its progenitor species a resynthesised neopolyploid to identify genes that were...
Red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.), a key perennial pastoral species used globally, can strengthen pastural mixes to withstand increasingly disruptive weather patterns from climate change. Breeding selections be refined for this purpose by obtaining an in-depth understanding of functional traits. A replicated randomized complete block glasshouse pot trial was observe trait responses critical plant performance under control (15% VMC), water deficit (5% VMC) and waterlogged conditions (50% in...
White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is the main legume component in temperate perennial pasture swards New Zealand. Developing broadly adapted cultivars an important objective white breeding programs. Field trials across years, seasons, locations and grazing environments, help breeders select superior material, assess merit of new available to farmers. This paper based on results from analysis data field three Zealand: Kerikeri (cattle grazed), Palmerston North grazed) Lincoln (sheep...
