Narrative

DISC MEDIC Medicago tomata Variety: 'Rivoli' Application No. 1991/046 Application Received: 19 April 1991 Applicant: South Australian Department of Agriculture. Diagnosis 'Rivoli' is distinct from any other variety, whose existence at the time of application is common knowledge, in having the following combination of characters: ovoid to lentiform seed pods with greater number of whorls, whorls of pod predominantly clockwise, later maturity in the field of South Australia, a unique banding pattern of esterase isoenzymes and total protein using discontinuous SDS-page electrophoresis. Varieties Used for Comparison 'Tornafield' disc medic being the only other disc medic available. Comparative Growing Trials All characteristics described below are from comparative growing trials conducted at the Kybybolite Research Centre, South Australia, in 1990 and 1991. In 1990 plants were sown in 2m rows spaced 2m apart. In 1990 plants were sown in plots 17 x 1.5m spaced 2.5m apart. 100 Plants from each of four replicates were used for measurements in each year. Origin This variety was selected by E.J Crawford at the Parafield Plant Introduction Centre on the basis of a leaf marker and lateness of flowering. Further selection was made by R.S Martyn for herbage and seed production and persistence after extensive evaluation of many pasture lines in 1983-1988. Morphology - see comparison tables 'Rivoli' is an anuual herb 15-30cm high. Branches, leaflets stipules and penducles are sparsely hairy. The stipules are variable in shape with laciniate margins. Young leaflet may exhibit purple and white flecks at low temperatures. Leaflets are 10-20mm long, 5-12mm wide, obovate to obovate-cuneate, with the upper half of the leaflet having a serrate margin. The penduncles are much longer then the petioles with 5-8 yellow flowers each up to 8mm long. The pod is ovoid to lentiform, mostly spineless to slightly spinulate and having 4-6 coils. The pods are 5-8 mm in diamter and the whorls mainly clockwise. The seed coat is smooth, yellow to yellow brown with approximately 230,000 seeds per kg. 'Rivoli' differs from 'Tornafield' in the shape and number of whorls of the pod. 'Rivoli' is also later maturing then 'Tornafield'.
