Growth, fecundity and competitive ability of transgenic Trifolium subterraneum subsp. subterraneum cv. Leura expressing a sunflower seed albumin gene

Assessment of enzyme induction and aerenchyma formation as mechanisms for flooding tolerance in Trifolium subterraneum 'Park'.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of enzyme induction and aerenchyma formation in prolonged tolerance to soil flooding in a variety of underground clover (Trifolium subterraneum 'Park') previously selected for resistance. Seedlings were grown in hydroponic tanks, initially with aeration for 3 weeks and subsequently in the absence of aeration for up to 3 weeks. After 1 h in th...

Nitrogen Turnover and Assimilation during Regrowth in Trifolium subterraneum L. and Bromus mollis L.

Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L. cv Woogenellup) and soft chess grass (Bromus mollis L. cv Blando) were grown in monocultures with (15)NH(4)Cl added to the soil to study nitrogen movement during regrowth following shoot removal. Four clipping treatments were imposed. Essentially all available (15)N was assimilated from the soil prior to the first shoot harvest. Measurements of tot...

Protein in senescent leaves of Trifolium subterraneum: partial amino-acid composition.

Effects of Moisture Stress on Acid-Soluble Phosphorus Compounds in Trifolium subterraneum.

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 (...
