Abstract

N27 Sweetclover [Melilotus officinalis (L.) Lam.] (Reg. no. GP-l, PI 552552) is a biennial, yellow-flowered, high-coumarin strain that was selected for large seed size and for resistance to the sweetclover aphid [,i>Therioaphis riehmi (Bornerj]. N27 was developed cooperatively by the USDA-ARS and the Nebraska Agricultural Research Division and was released in February 1991.
