The potential tradeoffs between vegetative and reproductive growth is a constant challenge for the forage plant breeders. Breeding for seed production has inevitably played a secondary role compared to improvements of the vegetative production. In this paper the current status regarding genetic variation, genotype x environment interactions, heritability estimates and mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seed yield and seed yield components in grasses and legumes are reviewed, with special focus on important forage grasses. Investigations of seed yield components have shown that components contributing to an increased utilization of the reproductive potential, like seed set and seed retention, seems efficient in increasing seed yield without adverse effects on the vegetative production. The generation of transgenic plants (GMO) have been reported for many forage species, and genetic engineering will increasingly be used to manipulate traits like nutritive value, resistance to fungal and viral diseases, and the reproductive system like male and female sterility and apomixis. Turf and forage grasses, and forage legumes are outcrossing species with prolific pollen production and pollination facilitated by wind or insects. They are potentially some of the most problematic crops when it comes to gene flow by pollen especially during the generations of seed multiplication. GM plants with engineered reproductive systems will pose new challenges for the seed producers. Co-existence of GM grasses and legumes with conventional and organic seed production will be very difficult to establish, and commercialization of GM cultivars will therefore certainly require gene containment technologies that prevent or reduce transgene escape. Mapping of QTLs, identification of markers and candidate genes associated with seed yield components, and the utilization of comparative genomics with cereal species have revealed several key components which may facilitate development of markers for marker-assisted breeding for the improvement of seed yield.
