• Alfalfa genomic selection for different stress-prone growing regions 

      Annicchiarico, Paolo; Nazzicari, Nelson; Bouizgaren, Abdelaziz; Hayek, Taoufik; Laouar, Meriem; Cornacchione, Monica; Basigalup, Daniel Horacio; Monterrubio Martin, Cristina; Brummer, Edward Charles; Pecetti, Luciano (Wiley, 2022-10)
      Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) selection for stress-prone regions has high priority for sustainable crop–livestock systems. This study assessed the genomic selection (GS) ability to predict alfalfa breeding values for ...
    • Genome-enabled and phenotypic selection of alfalfa for widely-diversified cropping environments 

      Annicchiarico, Paolo; Nazzicari, Nelson; Bouizgaren, Abdelaziz; Hayek, Taoufik; Laouar, Meriem; Cornacchione, Monica; Basigalup, Daniel Horacio; Brummer, Edward Charles; Pecetti, Luciano (2018-11-11)
      The decrease of rainfall amount due to climate change, and the reduction of irrigation water caused by growing water demand for non-agricultural uses, emphasize the importance of breeding novel alfalfa varieties that are ...
    • Genomic selection for lucerne biomass yield in di erent stressprone environments 

      Annicchiarico, Paolo; Nazzicari, Nelson; Pecetti, Luciano; Hayek, Taoufik; Bouizgaren, Abdelaziz; Laouar, Meriem; Brummer, Edward Charles; Cornacchione, Monica; Basigalup, Daniel Horacio (Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2019-06-24)
      Climate change and reduced irrigation water emphasize the need for lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) varieties with improved yield under drought and saline conditions. Marker-based selection may o!er opportunities, owing to low ...
    • Improving salinity tolerance of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) through conventional breeding 

      Cornacchione, Monica; Odorizzi, Ariel; Basigalup, Daniel Horacio; Arolfo, Valeria (INTA, 2018-11-11)
      A new cultivar with increased salinity tolerance was obtained from the INTA alfalfa genetic breeding program. The Medicago sativa germplasm (Synthetic Santiago=SISA 14) is a salt-tolerant synthetic population derived from ...
