To better understand the naturally occurring host range of Bean pod mottle virus (family Comoviridae, genus Comovirus, BPMV) and its principal vector Cerotoma trifurcata (Förster) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), 18 field-collected perennial plant species were tested for the presence of BPMV. By using no-choice assays, we determined the preference of these plants by bean leaf beetle, by measuring t...

This study quantified the temporal productivity of monocultures four annual and two perennial clover species in a summer dry environment at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. Clovers were ungrazed first year to enable natural re-establishment annuals, but grazed second year.
 In 2019 cultivar affected (P<0.001) yield early spring (24th September) with ‘Viper’ balansa (Trifoliu...

In this study, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Vicia villosa, Trifolium ochroleucum and Onobrychis altissima samples were investigated. For this purpose, plant extracts were tested against 3 fungus, 4 Gr(-) and 3 Gr(+) bacteria; additionally the glutathione (GSH) level and total phenolic content were measered spectrophtometrically and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was done by...

Trifolium, the clover genus, is one of the largest genera of the legume family. We conducted parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer and chloroplast trnL intron sequences obtained from 218 of the ca. 255 species of Trifolium, representatives from 11 genera of the vicioid clade, and an outgroup Lotus. We confirm the monophyly of Tri...

Some plant species belonging to Trifolium L. genus are a source of isoflavones considered to exert phytoestrogenic activities. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of standardized extract obtained from aerial parts of Trifolium medium L., in comparison with the extract of Trifolium pratense L., on the development of estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis in rats. Both Trifo...

in order to evaluate intercropping of summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) and persian clover (trifolium resupinatum l.), an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2004 growing season. treatments were sole cropping of persian clover (eight rows), double-row intercropping of persian clover and summer savory with 27, 40 and 80 plants.m-2 (e...
