Abstract

We discovered that the midwinter crude protein content of Artemisiu trident&u is under genetic control. Our study demonstrated that some accessions ofA. tridentutu, grown under uniform conditions, contained significantly higher levels of crude protein than others. Subspecies tridentutu contained significantly higher levels of crude protein than subspecies vuseyunu and wyomingensis. However, the accessions that contained the highest levels of crude protein have been reported to be the least palatable to mule deer. A superior strain of A. triiientutu can be developed by combining the high protein-yielding accessions with accessions that are higher in palatability. The new strain could supply more protein for mule deer on winter ranges.
