Phenotypic and Nodule Microbial Diversity among Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) Accessions

Polyphenol oxidase affects normal nodule development in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) may have multiple functions in tissues depending on its cellular or tissue localization. Here we use PPO RNAi transformants of red clover (Trifolium pratense) to determine the role PPO plays in normal development of plants, and especially in N2-fixing nodules. In red clover, PPO was not essential for either growth or nodule production, or for nodule function in plants g...

Phenotypic diversity among local Spanish and foreign peach and 1 nectarine [ Prunus persica ( L . ) Batsch ] accessions

Red clover (Trifolium pratense).

Genetic modification of plants by the insertion of transgenes can be a powerful experimental approach to answer basic questions about gene product function. This technology can also be used to make improved crop varieties for use in the field. To apply this powerful tool to red clover, an important forage legume, a population of red clover with a high potential for regeneration in tissue cultur...

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)

Brief Background: Red clover is a legume, which like soy contains "phytoestrogens" (plant-based compounds structurally similar to estradiol, capable of binding to estrogen receptors as an agonist or antagonist). Red clover was traditionally used to treat asthma, pertussis, cancer, and gout. In modern times, isoflavone extracts of red clover are most often used to treat menopausal symptoms, as a...

گزارش گونه .Trifolium incarnatum L برای اولین بار از ایران

گونه .Trifolium incarnatum L به عنوان گزارش جدیدی از ایران معرفی می‌گردد. این گونه از منطقه مریوان در استان کردستان جمع آوری شده‌است. متعلق به Section Trifolium بوده، از نظر داشتن گل آذین فشرده، بزرگتر (حدود دو برابر) و جام گل قرمز از گونه Gerard ex Loisel T. sylvaticum قابل تشخیص است. همچنین به دلیل داشتن برگچه­ های بزرگتر، گل آذین مستطیلی بلند (به طول 2 برابر) و جام گل قرمز از گونهL.
