International program aim at developing knowledge and tools in the model species Medicago truncatula. Genetic resources, DNA sequences, markers, genetic and physical maps are now publicly available. These efforts contribute to improve breeding schemes of crop species such as alfalfa. However, tranfer of information from M. truncatula to alfalfa is not straightforward. The article reviews the gain given by the model species to better analyse genetic determinism of breeding traits in alfalfa. It also shows that investments in alfalfa genomics (DNA sequnces, SNP development) are needed to benefit from the model species.
