International audienceAlfalfa is a forage legume for which vegetative biomass (stems and leaves) is harvested. Lignification of the oldest internodes of the stems contributes to reduced stem digestion by ruminants, but also glucose recovery in biofuel production. We described and quantified morphological and histological structure of the stem of two genotypes. At the top of the stems, four to six internodes has increasing length and diameter, non-lignified tissues and separated vascular bundles. The following internodes had a constant or decreasing length, but an increasing diameter from the top to the bottom of the stems. In parallel, xylem thickness and pith parenchyma area increased, but the cortex thickness remained almost constant. The...
