1. Reno is a synthetic variety with 74 parent plants. Parent plants were selected for multifoliolate expression and resistance to one or more of the following pests: stem nematode, Verticillium wilt and Phytophthora root rot. Germplasm sources used in developing Reno were FG 3B60 (31.5%), MultiKing (31%), Dividend (12.5%), LegenDairy (12.5%) and Acheiva (12.5%). Breeder seed (Syn 1) was produced near Nampa, Idaho in 1994. Seed was harvested in total on all parents and bulked to form breeder seed. Approximate germplasm source contributions are: M.falcata (3%), Ladak (6%), M.varia (27%), Turkistan (3%), Flemish (57%) and Chilean (4%).
