Clovers (genus Trifolium) are widely cultivated across the world as forage legumes and make a large contribution to livestock feed production and soil improvement. Subterranean clover (T. subterraneum L.) is well suited for genomic and genetic studies as a reference species in the Trifolium genus, because it is an annual with a simple genome structure (autogamous and diploid), unlike the other ...

returning crop residues into the soil as a source of organic matter are an important source of copper and can play an important role in the soil fertility. in addition to the role of the organic matter in increasing the concentration of micronutrients in soil solution, attention should be also paid to the role of the kind and the quantity of the root’s exudates released in response to the incor...

N SEVERAL species in which cross-incompatibility is determined by I multiple oppositional alleles, different types of tests have shown that these series of alleles are very extensive. The test yielding the most decisive results and involving the fewest crosses consists of making all possible reciprocal combinations (that is, diallel crosses) between plants which have one S factor in common. Thi...

objective: returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. in fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as ph and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. in addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

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...

Boletus edulis, Boletus aestivalis, Boletus luridus, Amanita muscaria and Hebeloma radicosum mycelia were isolated in pure culture and characterised by morphological and molecular methods. Molecular identification was performed by sequence analyses from the ITS region of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic affiliation of the isolated mycelia were evaluated by comparison of their ITS s...

In the framework of study on rust fungi of Fabaceae and based on the study of herbarium and newly collected specimens, six Uromyces species are recognized on Medicago spp. and Trifolium spp. from Iran. Among these species, U. fallens is recorded as new member for the Iranian rust flora. U. striatus is recorded as main causal agent of rust on lucerne (Medicago sativa) in Iran. Moreover, U. trifo...
