This study evaluated the effects of seven biochar products at two levels inclusion [2.25% or 4.50% diet dry matter (DM)] on DM disappearance (DMD), cumulative gas and methane (CH 4 ) production, ammonia-nitrogen, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production from Timothy grass hay over 48 h incubation. Biochar did not affect CH (P ≥ 0.17) nor DMD ruminal fermentation 0.12). In conclusion, biochar, irres...

Due to the wide distribution and heavy pollen production of grasses, approximately 50% of allergic patients are sensitized against grass pollen allergens. cDNAs coding for two isoforms and four fragments of a major timothy grass (Phleum pratense) pollen allergen, Phl p 6, were isolated by IgE immunoscreening from a pollen expression cDNA library. Recombinant Phl p 6 (rPhl p 6), an acidic protei...

The ability of grasses to regrow after defoliation by cutting or grazing is a vital factor in their survival and an important trait when they are used as forage crops. In temperate grass species accumulating fructans, defoliation induces the activity of a fructan exohydrolase (FEH) that degrades fructans to serve as a carbon source for regrowth. Here, a cDNA from timothy was cloned, named Pp6-F...

BACKGROUND T-cell targeted peptide epitope tolerogens from grass pollen allergens may be useful in treating seasonal allergic rhinitis, but there is urgent need for optimisation of approaches from improved understanding of mechanism. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR1-restricted epitopes from the Timothy grass pollen allergen, Phleum pratense, and characterise T...

Purpose of the study: to study effect oil pollution on morphological parameters cereal grasses: canary grass, timothy grass and meadow fescue. Tasks: assessment impact soils seed germination, growth development studied species by parameters; analysis variability indicators. Oil-contaminated high-moor peat was used as a substrate. Objects research: seeds Phleum pratense L, 1753, fescue Festuca p...
