Aims Tolerance to waterlogging and recovery ability was compared among the three subspecies of subterranean clover ( Trifolium subterraneum L.) to identify tolerance mechanisms, in order to guide future subclover breeding activities. Methods Three cultivars each of ssp. yanninicum , subterraneum and...
