Parent clones trace to 16 populations selected for resistance to the following pests: bacterial wilt, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, Phytophthora root rot, anthracnose (Race 1), and Aphanomyces root rot (Race 1). Populations were also selected for multifoliolate leaf expression. Phenotypic recurrent selection was used. Final selections were made from two-year-old space-plant selection nurseries near Ames, IA, based on vigor, leafhopper yellowing resistance, leaf disease resistance, multifoliolate leaf expression, winter survival and fall dormancy reaction. Parentage traces to Multiking I (17%), Apollo Supreme (16%), Genesis (11%), Arrow, AP 8842 and AP 8923 (7% each), AP 8824, AP 8830, AP 8922, AP 8925 and Legend (4% each) and 46 additional ABI experirnentals (15%). Approximate germplasm source contributions are: M. falcata (7%), Ladak (7%), M. varia (20%), Turkistan (13%), Flemish (38%), Chilean (6%), Peruvian (2%) and 7% unknown. Breeder seed (Syn 1) was produced on cuttings of the parental clones near Nampa, ID, in 1991. An equal number of cuttings (approximately 60) of each parental clone was transplanted at random into an isolated block and harvested in bulk.

One generation of Breeder (Syn 1) and two generations each of Foundation (Syn 2 or 3) and Certified (Syn 3 or 4) seed are recognized. The maximum permitted length of stand for Foundation and Certified seed fields are 3 and 5 years, respectively. Foundation seed must be produced above 40 degrees North latitude. Production of Syn 3 Foundation seed requires consent of the breeder.

6. Certified seed will be marketed in 1994.

7. It is undecided whether application will be made for Plant Variety Protection.

8. The information in this application can be turned over to the PVP office.

5. Breeder seed was produced from cuttings of the parental plants in an isolation block as Syn. 1 in Sloughhouse, CA in 1989-91. Seed was bulked in equal proportions each year, and lots were kept separate. Foundation seed (Syn. 2) was produced from Breeder seed and Certified seed (Syn. 2 or 3) from either Breeder or Foundation seed. One generation each of Breeder and Foundation and two generations of Certified seed (Syn. 2 or 3) classes are recognized. A maximum of three years each is permitted on stands producing Breeder and Foundation seed with five years for Certified seed.
