Abstract
Gland-tipped trichomes were found to occur on the cotyledonary petioles of a number of species of Medicago, Trigonella and Melilotus. Their location, seemingly protecting the plumule, and the known insect resistance provided by glandular hairs on stems and fruits of Medicago suggest that they are defensive, and may be useful in plant breeding.Key words: Medicago, alfalfa, Trigonella, Melilotus, glandular trichomes, pest resistance (immunity)
