Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland

Description

In Tunisia, many grassland and pasture species were menaced by genetic erosion. Thus, we were interested in the Hedysarum species which constitute a very important phytogenetic patrimony able to produce forage and restore destroyed pasture land especially in arid and semi-arid areas. In order to facilitate fodder improvement, we investigated the phenetic relationships among Hedysarum species using rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) polymorphism.
