Tolerance of subterranean clover

Trifolium subterraneum L.

The tolerance of subterranean clover is defined as the ability of varieties to withstand specific abiotic and biotic stresses, evaluated through relative productivity metrics, survival rates, and molecular markers.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Subterranean clover, where this is mentioned in the description.

For subterranean clover, tolerance to stress factors is measured by comparing the biomass or survival of test samples with control groups. Key parameters include salinity tolerance, determined by shoot mass reduction, and boron toxicity, evaluated using SNP markers. Cold tolerance is characterized by visual changes such as leaf reddening, while tolerance to waterlogging is critical for the ssp. yanninicum subspecies.

Herbicide tolerance is assessed by the degree of plant damage at different growth stages. An important agronomic aspect is grazing tolerance, which is expressed as the ability of a variety to maintain population density and produce seed under intensive grazing. This trait, along with geocarpy, determines pasture longevity and the efficiency of stand self-regeneration.
