The ecological plasticity, stability, and adaptive potential of varieties promising genetic lines the annual form white sweet clover were assessed. studies carried out in 2016-2020 Volga Scientific Research Institute Selection Seed-Growing named after P.N. Konstantinov, Samara Federal Center, Russian Academy Sciences. According to parameters plasticity studied differentiated into groups accordi...

Concern over declining pollinators has led to multiple conservation initiatives for improving forage for bees in agroecosystems. Using data available through the Pollinator Library (npwrc.usgs.gov/pollinator/), we summarize plant-pollinator interaction data collected from 2012-2015 on lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and private lands enrolled in U.S. Department of Agricultur...

Mutants of sweetclover (Melilotus alba) with defects in the nuclear ch5 locus were examined. Using thin-layer chromatography and absorption spectroscopy, three of these mutants were found to lack chlorophyll (Chl) b. One of these three mutants, U374, possessed thylakoid membranes lacking the three Chl b-containing pigment-protein complexes (AB-1, AB-2, and AB-3) while still containing A-1 and A...

The microbiome in plant-soil systems has a significant influence promoting plant growth. Despite this, the extent of selectivity that exerts on continuum between soil and internal tissues is not well understood. This study analysed root legume, Melilotus officinalis (L.) Pall., sweet clover, focused dynamic shifts microbial community structure through niches bulk soil, rhizosphere, periderm, ph...

White sweet clover (Melilotus albus) cultivation, despite its many positive features such as the high yield of green mass, well protein content, is currently not widespread. This study aimed to determine effect different sowing densities (500, 1000, and 1500 seeds per m2) harvesting at growth stages (before budding, full flowering) on quality fodder from white (Adela variety). The field experim...

Melilotus officinalis is known to contain several types of secondary metabolites. In contrast, the carotenoid composition this medicinal plant has not been investigated, although it may also contribute biological activities drug, such as anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, study focuses on isolation and identification carotenoids from Meliloti herba effect isolated (all-E)-lutein 5,6-epoxide ...
