TLDR
Seed of eighteen species of sweetclover (Melilotus) from various sources in Europe and Asia has been grown at the Research Station, Brandon, Manitoba as mentioned in this paper and a key to the species has been developed that will be useful to agronomists.Abstract:
Seed of eighteen species of sweetclover (Melilotus) from various sources in Europe and Asia has been grown at the Research Station, Brandon, Manitoba. Based on material grown, a key to the species has been developed that will be useful to agronomists. Each species is described and comments are made on its agronomic characteristics. Controversial taxa are discussed and their status is clarified.read more

Diversity in the genus Melilotus for tolerance to salinity and waterlogging
M.E. Rogers,Timothy D. Colmer,K. Frost,David J. Henry,David J. Henry,D. Cornwall,E. Hulm,E. Hulm,J. Deretic,S.R. Hughes,S.R. Hughes,A.D. Craig,A.D. Craig +12 more
TL;DR: The salt and waterlogging tolerances of 19 species of Melilotus were evaluated in a series of glasshouse experiments to identify forage species that are productive in saline environments and to identify weed risk assessments and field trials on these species.

Phylogeny and character evolution in Medicago (Leguminosae): Evidence from analyses of plastid trnK/matK and nuclear GA3ox1 sequences
Kelly P. Steele,Stefanie M. Ickert-Bond,Stefanie M. Ickert-Bond,Shahin Zarre,Martin F. Wojciechowski +4 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that single-seeded fruits that have arisen more than once in both Medicago and Trigonella, are indeed homoplastic is supported and support for the utility of GA3ox1 sequences for phylogenetic analysis among and within closely related genera of legumes is demonstrated.

Phytoalexin induction as a new dynamic approach to the study of systematic relationships among higher plants
TL;DR: The first successful application of phytoalexin induction as a tool in taxonomic studies to the problems of classification at the generic and species level in the Leguminosae is reported.

TL;DR: It is proposed that salinity measurements to determine annual legume suitability for winter-dominant rainfall areas are made in summer or early autumn, when at their highest levels.
