Presentation ofours results obtained by different grants of binational cooperation.?       Optimize the levels of condensed tannins  (CT) in the foliage of legumes to improve the rate of rumen by pass proteins?       Selection of wild Lotus germplasm harbouring traits ofinterests (i.e production of CT, adaptability to marginal areas)?       Hybridization and Interspecific hybridization betweencultivated and wild germplasm?       High throughput sequencing for mining genes related totraits of interest?       New breeding approaches: from transgenesis to genomeediting to introgress the traits of interest
