Identification of Molecular Markers Associated with Verticillium Wilt Resistance in Alfalfa (<i>Medicago Sativa - Figure 1 </i> L.) Using High-Resolution Melting

<p>Distribution of disease severity scores in the Pioneer (A) and Alforex populations (B). 1 = resistant with no or minimal chlorosis of lower leaves; 2 = moderately resistant with chlorosis of lower and middle leaves but no chlorosis of terminal leaves; 3 = susceptible with well developed symptoms of chlorosis, and necrotic and twisted terminal leaflets on at least one, but not all main stems, 4 = susceptible with severe symptoms of chlorosis, necrosis, and twisting of all leaflets on all main stems; and 5 = dead plant.
