Genetic Diversity and Structure of Latvian Trifolium fragiferum Populations, a Crop Wild Relative Legume Species, in the Context of the Baltic Sea Region

The aim of the present study was to investigate genetic diversity and structure eight Trifolium fragiferum populations in Latvia context Baltic Sea region. In addition, one wild population from Estonia Denmark were analyzed, as well commercial cultivar ‘Palestine’. low, compared higher differentiated into four clusters, separate Three genetically similar Latvian also geographically proximal, but located near capital, Riga, each other. results previously published physiological studies same populations. this can be used a basis for further T. region, develop situ ex conservation strategies crop relative species.
