  • Seedling development among reciprocal FI hybrids and their parents, Lotus comiculatus and L renuis, were studies using a simple method of measuring cotyledon area. Cotyledon area attached to the plant could be measured with simple rapid method. Cotyledons expanded very rapidly during the first week, then slightly expanded until maximum size was reached around 3 weeks after emergence. Cotyledon area upon emergence was correlated with seed size (P=0.05), but after emergence there was a divergence in cotyledon expansion rate. Rapidity of photosynthetic area development was determinant factor for seedling growth of trefoil species. 2 $\times$ m2 and 1 $\times$ m2 among the hybrids promised the possibility increasing seedling vigor of birdsfoot trefoil.
