Analysis of genetic diversity among Onobrychis accessions with high agronomic performance by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers.

The results obtained from this study provide important information on the genetic structures of the studied sainfoin genotypes and their genetic relationship. Therefore acquired genetic data will be useful in designing more efficient polycross nurseries, allowing open pollination of best performing and genetically diverse genotypes in the isolated conditions, which will increase genetic gain in sainfoin breeding programs.
