In order to provide useful genomic information for agronomical plants, we have established a database, the Kazusa Marker DataBase (http://marker.kazusa.or.jp). This database includes information on DNA markers, e.g., SSR and SNP markers, genetic linkage maps, and physical maps, that were developed at the Kazusa DNA Research Institute. Keyword searches for the markers, sequence data used for mar...

The effect of cover crop (CC) surface residues on water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling in no-till systems depends part the water retention properties decomposing extent decomposition. This study (1) examined decomposition residue properties; (2) characterized diurnal variations rates response to changes soil-residue-air environmental conditions; (3) relationships between environment (moisture te...

The important worldwide forage crop red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) is widely cultivated as cattle feed and for soil improvement. Wild populations landraces have great natural diversity that could be used to improve clover. However, date, there still insufficient knowledge about the genetic phenotypic of species. Here, we developed a low-cost complexity reduced mRNA analysis (mRNA-GBS) comp...

BACKGROUND Marketed red clover (Trifoleum pratense) products use a wide variety of labels, and the isoflavone content from the label is ambiguous. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we analyzed the content of various isoflavone products, and determined (1) the content and (2) how the sample matrix of red clover products affects the intestinal disposition of main isoflavones within it...

a field experiment involving red clover varieties k-39, k-17, una and viola was established on an acidic (phh2o 4.8) soil to evaluate the effects of foliar application of cobalt (a beneficial nutrient for efficient nitrogen fixation) on seed yield, and on seed yield components. the foliar spray of the crop was carried out using cobalt nitrate [co(no3)2] with the treatments: one application at t...

Wildflower mixes are often planted around field margins to provide forage for pollinators. Although seed for these mixtures is often wild-sourced, for species where agricultural cultivars are available, for example red clover (Trifolium pratense), cultivars can also be included. Previous evidence suggests that plant genetic background can have a strong influence on plant-arthropod interactions ...

Red clover is an important perennial fodrage legume and a rich source of highly nutritional voluminous forage for livestock feed, which continuously improved by plant breeding efforts that rely significantly on trait correlation studies. A two-year field trial was conducted at Rimski Sancevi, Novi Sad, Serbia. The aim this research to assess correlations morpho-agronomic traits quality properti...
