Little is known about phosphorus metabolism in plants suffering from moisture stress. Several metabolic processes, which are completely dependent upon phosphorylated intermediates, are noticeably affected by moisture stress conditions. Photosynthetic rate decreases markedly in severely stressed plants (13). Rate of fixation of CO2 in the dark decreases (12). Above a diffusion pressure deficit (...

Groups of six to nine Merino Summary lambs were weaned in September (May drop) and December (September drop) on to three types of irrigated perennial pastureperennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), Ladino white clover (Trifolium repens) and lucerne (Medicago sativa), and one irrigated annual pasture-subterranean clover ( Trifolium subterraneum) . The weight gain of the weaners on white clover was s...

Protea (Protea cynaroides L.) is one of the most important ornamental plants commercially cultivated in Turkey and other parts world. In May 2017, protea heavily showed wilting symptoms were obtained from growing areas at Hatay province Turkey. Brown vascular tissue stems infected was observed. To determine causal agent disease, necrotic pieces taken diseased surface-sterilized with 10% sodium ...

In 12 experiments in which white (Trifolium repens), red (Trifolium pratense) or Persian (Trifolium resupinatum) clovers, either with or without maize (Zea mays) silage, were fed to lactating dairy cows in northern Victoria, maize silage was shown to significantly (P < 0.01) reduce the incidence of bloat; 126 cases of bloat were recorded where the clovers were fed alone and only 3 cases were ob...

The postharvest quality of muskmelon can be affected by fruit rot caused the fungus Fusarium incarnatum, resulting in loss quality. utilization electrostatic atomized water particles (EAWPs) agriculture applications has been shown to induce disease resistance plants. Therefore, this study, we determined effect on fruits against F. incarnatum. EAWPs were applied for 0, 30, 60, and 90 min. EAWP-t...

Clovers (genus Trifolium) are widely cultivated across the world as forage legumes and make a large contribution to livestock feed production and soil improvement. Subterranean clover (T. subterraneum L.) is well suited for genomic and genetic studies as a reference species in the Trifolium genus, because it is an annual with a simple genome structure (autogamous and diploid), unlike the other ...

returning crop residues into the soil as a source of organic matter are an important source of copper and can play an important role in the soil fertility. in addition to the role of the organic matter in increasing the concentration of micronutrients in soil solution, attention should be also paid to the role of the kind and the quantity of the root’s exudates released in response to the incor...

N SEVERAL species in which cross-incompatibility is determined by I multiple oppositional alleles, different types of tests have shown that these series of alleles are very extensive. The test yielding the most decisive results and involving the fewest crosses consists of making all possible reciprocal combinations (that is, diallel crosses) between plants which have one S factor in common. Thi...
