In studies on the sporeforming anaerobic bacteria in orchard grass silages, two groups were found to predominate on the basis of spore counts (Bryant et at., 1952). Several proteolytic strains isolated were similar to Clo8tri4ium sporogenes, but the majority of isolates were lactatefermenting anaerobes which were similar to Clostridium tyrobutyricum (van Beynum and Pette, 1935). Since the work ...

Three different DNA-based techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, were used for fingerprinting Dactylis glomerata genotypes and for detecting genetic variation between the three different subspecies. In this study, RAPD assays produced 97 bands, of which 40 were polymorphic (41.2%). The I...

Endophytic bacteria are critical for plant growth and health. However, compositional and functional responses of bacterial endophyte communities towards agricultural practices are still poorly understood. Hence, we analyzed the influence of fertilizer application and mowing frequency on bacterial endophytes in three agriculturally important grass species. For this purpose, we examined bacterial...

Yaylacılık ülkemizde önemli bir gelenek olup, bu araştırma, 2014-2015 vejetasyon döneminde, Trabzon İli Düzköy İlçesi Yaylası (Kamema)’nın yaş ot ve botanik kompozisyonları ile birlikte florası incelenmiştir. Yayla (Kamena) çayırlarının verimleri 2.450-3.275 kg da-1 arasında değişmiş ağırlık esasına göre ise % 73 buğdaygiller + 12 baklagiller 15 diğer familyalardan oluşmuştur. Yapılan floristik...

Abstract Choke disease, which is caused by Epichloë typhina , was first reported in orchardgrass seed production fields the Willamette Valley, Oregon 1997 and has continued to persist system. The disease can cause up 30% losses yield. Unlike many species that are transmitted, it unclear how infection of E. occurs field, or spreads within plants. In this study, overall incidence choke on trap pl...
