Progress in research on Trifolium genetic engineering
Trifolium is an important forage that is widely cultivated in the world, and is characterized by its dietary rich nutrition and excellent quality. Genetic transformation has launched a new era in Trifolium breeding and germplasm creativity. This paper reviews recent progress in quality-improvement, promoting resistance to viruses, fungi, insects, and stress and in work on genetic transformation of Trifolium problems and prospects for application of genetic engineering in Trifolium are discussed.
