Interspecific hybrids have been developed between white clover and the annual, profuse flowering diploid species Trifolium nigrescens Viv.(ball clover) as a strategy to improve the seed yield of white clover. Third generation ...

The nitrogen relations of an inbred line of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) thought to exhibit an abnormally low capacity for NO3 – uptake (line LNU) were compared with a line regarded as normal with respect to NO3 – ...

Forage and turf are the backbone of sustainable agriculture and contribute extensively to the world economy. The fast-paced advancement of cellular and molecular biology provides novel methods to accelerate or complement ...

Legumes include many very important crop plants that contribute very critical protein to the diets of both humans and animals around the world. Their unique ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in association with Rhizobia ...

Nine medium leaf size varieties of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) were grown in field plots with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) variety Fennema, and yield measurements were taken under both cutting and rotational ...

AbstractTwo experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of blends of three white clover (Trifolium repens L.) varieties in comparison with the component varieties and three other varieties sown individually ...

This book includes papers from plenary lectures and selected oral presentations of the 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf. A wide variety of themes are addressed in a collection that ...

A simple three equation model is proposed for the feedback regulation of nitrate uptake and N2 fixation, based on the concentration of the organic N substrate pool within the plant and two parameters denoting the N substrate ...
