Repellence of Boophilus microplus larvae in Stylosanthes humilis and Stylosanthes hamata plants

Growth, yield and photosynthesis of Panicum maximum and Stylosanthes hamata under elevated CO2.

Plant height, biomass production, assimilatory functions and chlorophyll accumulation of Panicum maximum and Stylosanthes hamata in intercropping systems was influenced significantly under elevated CO2 (600 +/- 50 ppm) in open top chambers (OTCs). The plant height increased by 32.0 and 49.0% over the control in P. maximum and S. hamata respectively in intercropping system under elevated CO2 ove...

Using genetic diversity information to establish core collections of Stylosanthes capitata and Stylosanthes macrocephala

Stylosanthes species are important forage legumes in tropical and subtropical areas. S. macrocephala and S. capitata germplasm collections that consist of 134 and 192 accessions, respectively, are maintained at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation Cerrados (Embrapa-Cerrados). Polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to assess genetic diversity and population structure with the ai...

Nucleotide sequence of a cationic peroxidase gene from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

Peroxidases (EC 1.1 1.1.7; donor: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase) have been implicated in numerous physiological processes of potential importance in plant-pathogen interactions, including lignification (Walter, 1992), crosslinking of cell-wall components (Bradley et al., 1992), wound healing (Sherf et al., 1993), auxin oxidation (Grambow and Langenbeck-Schwich, 1979), and systemic acquired r...

Cloning and sequence of a cDNA encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

PAL (EC 4.3.1.5) catalyzes the deamination of Phe to trans-cinnamic acid in the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway, a key process for the synthesis of phenolic compounds in plants. In legumes, phenolic compounds have many important roles including flavonoid signal molecules required for nodulation, antibiotic phytoalexins for defense against pathogens, and precursors for the structural a...
