Narrative
Combines reduced coumarin content, increased seed size, and resistance to the sweetclover aphid (Therioaphis riehmi). The gene for reduced coumarin content was derived originally from the wild sweetclover species, Melilotus dentata, and the source of increased seed size was PI 178985, a Melilotus officinalis introduction from Turkey. Sweetclover aphid resistance was improved by conventional screening and selection procedures.
