title: Genetic diversity, population structure, and taxonomic confirmation in annual medic (Medicago spp.) collections from Crimea, Ukraine
abstract: Annual medic (<i>Medicago</i> spp.) germplasm was collected from the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine in 2008 to fill gaps in geographic coverage in the United States department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) temperate-adapted forage legume collection. A total of 102 accessions across 10 <i>Medicago</i> species were collected. To assess genetic diversity, population structure, and to confirm taxonomic identities, the collections were phenotypica
