The rumen bacterial strains Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens Hl7c, Fibrobacter succinogenes S8S, Lachnospira multiparus 4°, Ruminococcus albus 7 and R. flavefaciens FD-l were compared individually and as a five-species mixture with a rumen inoculum for their ability to degrade lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) stem cell wall polysaccharides. Two maturity stages oflucerne (bud and full flower) were utilized...

The MADS-domain transcription factor SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE plays a key role as a repressor of the transition to flowering and as a regulator of early floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). However, no flowering-time repressors have been functionally identified in the model legume Medicago truncatula (Medicago). In this study, phylogenetic analysis of two closely-related MtSV...
