Genetic breeding and multi-omics integration for alfalfa improvement from trait discovery to cultivar development
This review critically evaluates the transition from conventional phenotypic selection to data-driven breeding strategies, examining genomic selection (GS), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), multi-omics integration, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) within the context of polyploid crop improvement.
