Sabre

1. Sabre is a synthetic variety derived from crossing Oneida VR with a

Flemish population. The Flemish population was germplasm with origin

similar to that of Saranac AR, backcrossed once with Saranac AR, then

phenotypically selected for resistance to anthracnose (Race 1).

Parent plants of Sabre were the result of recurrent phenotypic

selection for resistances to anthracnose (Race 1), Verticillium wilt,

Fusarium wilt, and Phytophthora root rot. Pre-breeder (Syn. 1) seed

was a bulk of an equal weight of seed from 18 clones with high number

of seeds/pod after open-pollination by honeybees (in an enclosed room)

among the 354 plants from the last cycle of selection for disease

resistance. Syn. 1 seed was planted to produce breeder seed (Syn. 2)

under cage isolations in Nampa, Idaho in 1986, 1987, and 1988. Breeder

seed lots will be bulked for future planting for foundation seed

production. Approximate germplasm sources contributed to this variety

are 70% Flemish, 22% M. varia, 4% M. falcata, 2% Ladak, 1% Turkestan,

and 1% Chilean.

2. Sabre is adapted to and intended for use in the northern United

States for hay, haylage, greenchop, and dehydration. It has been

tested in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,

Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

3. Sabre is a moderately dormant variety with fall dormancy reaction

similar to that of Saranac. Flower color is 70% purple and 30%

variegated, and trace of yellow and cream.

4. Sabre has high resistance to anthracnose (Race 1), bacterial wilt,

Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, and pea aphid; resistance to

Phytophthora root rot; and moderate resistance to stem nematode. It is

susceptible to spotted alfalfa aphid. It has not been tested for

resistance to blue alfalfa aphid.

5. Breeder seed (Syn. 2) was produced under cage isolations in Idaho

in sufficient quantity to last the life of the variety. Seed produced

in 1986, 1987, and 1988 will be bulked for future production of

foundation seed. This seed is maintained by the Department of Plant

Breeding & Biometry at Cornell University. Foundation seed (Syn. 3)

may be produced from breeder seed in the northern USA on stands no

more than 3 years old unless by consent of the breeder. Production of

foundation seed requires approval from the New York Seed Improvement

Cooperative. Certified seed (Syn. 3 or 4) may be produced from breeder

or foundation seed on stands no more than 6 years old.

6. Certified seed was first marketed in 1989.
