REGIONAL PROJECTS 



NC-37 Improvement of Alfalfa and Other Forages Throu^ 



Basic Studies in Genetics and Pathology * To (1) obtain 

 information on etiology, host-parasite relations, 

 epidemiology and control of blackstem and related diseases. 

 (2) Determine the nature of resistance and the mode of 

 inheritance involved. (3) Devise breeding methods to 

 attain disease resistance, (4) Incorporate disease 

 resistance into improved varieties for use in the 

 North Central region. 



Contributing Projects: Alaska V-D, 111. V-S,
