El cultivo de sandía sin semilla es un rubro nuevo para el país, destinado principalmente a la exportación hacia el mercado regional y/o europeo. Se plantean los resultados de los tres años de trabajo, como un aporte al manejo del cultivo.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a widely planted perennial forage crop. Fall dormancy is generally negatively correlated with winter injury in alfalfa. To understand the genetic basis of the two traits, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling autumn growth and winter injury using a tetraploid alfalfa F1 population. In total, 601 marker alleles were scored from 78 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), 123 simple-sequence repeat (SSR), and 48 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Linkage maps were constructed for each parent separately.
