Abstract：

● This review systematically raises the subject concept of alfalfa biology.

● The discipline of alfalfa biology has been divided into six major sections.

● The recent advances from the perspective of discipline system have been reviewed.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is the main leguminous forage crop with great ecologic and economic value. The research of alfalfa in various fields has exploded, but has not been included in a systematic framework. This paper summarizes the status of global alfalfa research over the past 10 years, raise the subject concept of alfalfa biology, and review the recent advances from the perspective of discipline system as germplasm resources, multiomics and biotechnology, environmental biology, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, biological breeding and cultivation. This paper proposes the key unsolved scientific and technical issues in alfalfa biology, and hope to appeal the research interest of more plant scientists and to promote the development of alfalfa industry.

Key words： alfalfa discipline system forage biology lucerne Medicago sativa
