Allelopathy is one of the main factors limiting the plants growth. The present study investigated the effect of aqueous extract of leaves and fruit of Artemisia sieberi that is an important species for rangeland rehabilitation on seed germination and seedling growth of three alfalfa species (Medicago sativa cv. Nikshahri,‌ Medicago polymorpha and Medicago scutellata cv. Robinson) in laboratory ...

abstract- annual medicago species (medicago spp.) are native to the mediterranean region and widely used in fields and pastures in iran. there are several methods of sowing annual medicago species, each with different effects on the performance. however, there is currently no sufficient information about the appropriate methods for sowing medicago species. in order to evaluate methods of sowing...

this study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using triadimefon (trd) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on medicago plant. triadimefon is a member of triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. two cultivars of medicago sitiva including hamedani and yazdi were used in this study. plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...

To extend our understanding of flowering time control in eudicots, we screened for mutants in the model legume Medicago truncatula (Medicago). We identified an early flowering mutant, spring1, in a T-DNA mutant screen, but spring1 was not tagged and was deemed a somaclonal mutant. We backcrossed the mutant to wild type R108. The F1 plants and the majority of F2 plants were early flowering like ...

Parasitic species of the family Orobanchaceae are devastating agricultural pests in many parts of the world. The control of weedy Orobanchaceae spp. is challenging, particularly due to the highly coordinated life cycles of the parasite and host plants. Although host genetic resistance often provides the foundation of plant pathogen management, few genes that confer resistance to root parasites ...
