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...

We present results of quenched SU(3) hadron spectroscopy comparing O(a) improved Wilson (Clover) fermions with conventional Wilson fermions. The configurations were generated using an O(a) improved 6-link SU(3) pure gauge action at β’s corresponding to lattice spacings of 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, 0.33, and 0.43 fm. We find evidence that fermionic scaling violations are consistent with O(a) for Clover ...

The study investigated the effect of methanol extract and its fractionations obtained from Yemeni khat on the smooth muscle isometric tension in Lewis rat aortal ring preparations and compared the effects of the crimson and green leaves. Khat leaves were sorted into green (khat Light; KL) and crimson (khat Dark; KD) leaves, extracted with methanol, followed with solvent-solvent extraction (benz...

The growth of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus in perishable foods is a well-known cause of food poisoning. In this study, we evaluated sprouting seeds (broccoli, green peas, lentil, mung bean, mustard, radish, red clover, soybean, and triticale) for their antimicrobial activity toward B. cereus. The filter-sterilized seed extracts of red clover, lentil, and mung bean yielded inhibition zones of...

Common mycorrhizal network (CMN) allows nutrients and signals to pass between two or more plants. In this study, trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) and white clover (Trifolium repens) were planted in a two-compartmented rootbox, separated by a 37-μm nylon mesh and then inoculated with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), Diversispora spurca. Inoculation with D. spurca resulted in format...

This paper describes the relationship between protein-bound phenols in red clover, induced by different degrees of damaging before wilting and varying wilting duration, and in silo lipid metabolism. The ultimate effect of these changes on rumen biohydrogenation is the second focus of this paper. For this experiment, red clover, damaged to different degrees (not damaged (ND), crushing or frozen/...

Protein in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), a forage that does not contain condensed tannins, has been found to be degraded less extensively in the rumen than the protein in other non-tannin legumes. The objective of this study was to determine if there are genetic differences in rumen degradability of the protein in red clover forage. Field grown forage was harvested from 133 red clover ent...

Abstract The backgrounding period is a post-weaning management strategy to add weight and build the health status in beef calves. This phase used prepare calves enter next of production supply chain. Weaning methods can be strategies reduce calf morbidity mortality feedlot. objective this study was assess growth performance based on weaning subsequent using commonly forage-based diets by Alabam...
