Variety traits
Lotus corniculatus L.
Birdsfoot trefoil is predominantly an allotetraploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 4x = 24, although diploid forms of this species also occur in nature.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Bird's-foot trefoil, where this is mentioned in the description.
The ploidy of birdsfoot trefoil is considered a genetic characteristic of the species that determines its evolutionary origin and cytogenetic features. The primary status of the crop is characterized as tetraploid, while the existence of diploid populations has been documented in scientific literature.
In agronomic practice and breeding, ploidy does not serve as a production factor or a criterion for varietal classification. When cultivating the crop, the main focus is on such economically valuable traits as leafiness, winter hardiness, resistance to trampling, and seed productivity.
