This study investigated the ability of neonatal larvae of the root-feeding weevil, Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal, to locate white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) roots growing in soil and to distinguish them from the roots of other species of clover and a co-occurring grass species. Choice experiments used a combination of invasive techniques and the novel technique of high resolution X-ray mi...

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii is a soil-inhabiting bacterium that has the capacity to be an effective N2-fixing microsymbiont of Trifolium (clover) species. R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain WSM1689 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a root nodule of Trifolium uniflorum collected on the edge of a valley 6 km from Eggares on the Greek Isl...

phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants for the remediation of the contaminated soils, sediments, tailings, and groundwaters. in this work, the ability of trifoliumalexanderium for the phytoremediation of the tailings soil in the anjir-tange coal washing plant was investigated. for this purpose, trifolium sp. was cultivated in three soils consisting of the tailings dam, an agricultura...

We control using bright light an actively-quenched avalanche single-photon detector. Actively-quenched detectors are commonly used for quantum key distribution (QKD) in the visible and near-infrared range. This study shows that these detectors are controllable by the same attack used to hack passively-quenched and gated detectors. This demonstrates the generality of our attack and its possible ...

Stomatološki fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu jedan je od rijetkih stomatoloških fakulteta na svijetu s vlastitim Zavodom za dentalnu antropologiju. Utemeljen je 1966. godine, a prvi predstojnik bio je doc. dr. sc. Mustafa Ćatović. Kako bi se na primjeren način obilježila 50. godišnjica osnutka zavoda, od 9. do 11. lipnja 2016. na Stomatološkom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu održan je Znanstveni...

Abstract The European Alps show a high degree of endemism associated mainly with the location glacial refugia and environmental heterogeneity. Several Alpine endemics have evolved in genus Alyssum. Here we study perennial Alyssum populations Western Alps, distributed Aosta Valley region, which hosts species diversity, although are rare. We addressed recently described stenoendemic A. rossetii t...

RIFOLI U M pratense L. is a highly self-incompatible species. An oppositional Tsystem of incompatibility has been established in this species by WILLIAMS and SILOW (1933). Artificially induced autopolyploids have been produced by LEVAN (1948) and FRANDSEN (1948) and selections have been carried out for several generations to improve their fertility. But no work has been done to study the effect...

Biochanin A is a naturally occurring isoflavone. Its main sources are clover species such as Trifolium pretense, Trifolium subterraneum or Trifolium incarnatum. Phytoestrogens, including isoflavones, are plant-derived substances, which exhibit estrogen-like properties, thus they may be used as an alternative for hormonal replacement therapies and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Therefore, ...

trifolium spp. are native plants in iran exhibiting good ground cover po-tential. salinity is a major environmental stress and today, 20% of the world cultivated areas and nearly half of all irrigated lands are affected by salinity. the main aim of this research was to study morphological and physiological adaptations of these native species under different salinity levels for urban landscape u...
