The adhesion of rhizobia to surfaces of clover roots was examined by an indirect plate-counting assay and phase-contrast microscopy. The number of Rhizobium trifolii cells attached to clover root segments increased in approximately linear fashion during the first hour of incubation, but did not change appreciably thereafter. The addition of 30 mM-2-deoxy-D-glucose, which effectively inhibits bi...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among Iranian women. Nowadays, the use of traditional medicinal plants has emerged as a tempting complementary to the treatment of breast cancer due to minimal side effects and less documented drug resistance. The aim of this study was to examine the anticancer effects of the essential oils of red clover and mature fruit of Bass...

Efficient livestock production from pasture requires an understanding of preference and selection by grazing animals. Selective grazing influences diet not just in the short-term but more importantly, in the long-term through its affect on pasture composition. This paper summarises techniques developed to explore the nutritional basis for preference in complementary indoor and field studies. In...

Brief Background: Red clover is a legume, which like soy contains "phytoestrogens" (plant-based compounds structurally similar to estradiol, capable of binding to estrogen receptors as an agonist or antagonist). Red clover was traditionally used to treat asthma, pertussis, cancer, and gout. In modern times, isoflavone extracts of red clover are most often used to treat menopausal symptoms, as a...

The effects of soil water deficit and interspecific plant interaction were studied on the dry matter (DM ) yield of white clover and ryegrass and on the morphogenesis of white clover. Plants were grown either: (1) individually (no interaction); or in a mixture of equal plant numbers with either (2) just shoot interaction, or (3) both shoot+root interaction. Plants were subjected to soil water d...

We study exceptional modes of both the Wilson and the clover action in order to understand why quenched clover spectroscopy suffers so severely from exceptional configurations. We show that a large clover coefficient can make the exceptional modes extremely localized and thus very sensitive to short distance fluctuations. We contrast this with the case of the Wilson action where exceptional mod...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) leaves contain high levels of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and o-diphenol substrates. Wounding of leaves during harvest and ensiling results in browning of leaf tissues from activity of PPO on the o-diphenols. In association with browning, leaf proteins remain undegraded during ensiling, presumably due to PPO-generated o-quinone inhibition of leaf proteases....
