The effect of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) hay consumption on the pathophysiology and local cellular responses of growing lambs during infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis was investigated. Thirty-two lambs, 16 weeks of age, were allocated to 1 of 4 treatment groups (n=8) that were offered either grass (G) or sainfoin (S) hay while concurrently either infected (+), or not (-) with ...

To explore the potential of in vitro rapid regeneration, three varieties (Golpaygan-181, Orumieh-1763, and Gorgan-1601) of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. syn. Onobrychis sativa L.) were evaluated. For the first time, an encapsulation protocol was established from somatic embryogenic callus in torpedo and cotyledonary stages to create artificial seeds. Callus derived from different concen...

The 5-deoxyisoflavones, afrormosin and formononetin have been isolated from healthy leaves of Onobrychis viciifolia. In addition to these compounds, several other flavonoid (isoliquiritigenin; liquiritigenin; garbanzol) and isoflavonoid (medicarpin; vestitol) derivatives including the new isoflavanone, vestitone (7,2'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavanone), are present in leaves inoculated with the ...

The use of plants to remove Poly-aromatic-hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil (phytoremediation) is emerging as a cost-effective method. Phytoremediation of contaminated soils can be promoted by the use of adding microorganisms with the potential of pollution biodegradation (bioaugmentation). In the present work, the effect of bacterial consortium was studied on the capability of Sorghum and Onobrych...

The traditional approach of repairing the linea alba, while operating on ventral hernias, is based on the premise that the linea alba is a strong layer and can reinforce the abdominal wall. This deeply entrenched view of most surgeons has resulted in numerous techniques which invariably include the linea alba as a part of the repair. On the contrary, this article proposes a hypothesis that the ...

Turkey is in a very convenient position for animal husbandry terms of both natural resources and ecological conditions. Forage crops, which has important place agricultural activities, the insurance plant production. Sainfoin perennial forage legume species that grown northern temperate regions world from Mediterranean region Caucasus, to Central Asia. In this study genetic diversity 100 genoty...
