Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to improved cultivars, varieties, lines or plants of annual medics (Medicago genus) wherein the majority of seed pods, upon reaching maturity, remain attached to their respective pedicels (referred to as a "pod holding" trait) . Seed from known cultivars or wild-type varieties of annual medics are subjected to treatment with a mutagenic agent, and improved cultivars, varieties, lines or plants having t he "pod holding" trait are isolated. Also, the "pod holding" trait is transferred to another annual by cross-breeding.
