Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was employed to examine the variation of ten isoenzyme markers in an attempt to assess the systematic and genetic relationships between Elymus repens, E. hispidus and their hybrid E. ×mucronatus. It was found that the hybrid shared most isoenzyme profiles and isoforms of its parents and high genetic affinity among the studied taxa was revealed. The isoe...

The true digestibility of amino acids of 5 groups of different Trifolium varieties and hybrids was established by using the balance method adapted for geese. Digestibility of the most important amino acids Lysine varies from 70.40 (for tetraplod red clover) to 81.78 (for medium leafy white clover varieties); for Methionine from 60.54 (for Trifolium repens f. giganteum) to 89.42 (diploid red clo...

Problem Torpedograss (Panicum repens L.) is a nonnative riparian, wetland and terrestrial plant native to Eurasia and is considered one of the World’s worst weeds. It is also known as quack grass and bullet grass. When fully matured, torpedograss can grow up to 3 feet tall and form dense monotypic stands that out compete native species and lead to a loss of diversity and overall ecological heal...
