Context Studies of Phoma black stem and leaf spot disease (caused by medicaginis) in annual medics (Medicago spp.) normally involve a ‘once-only’ inoculation not reflecting multiple pathogen infection phytoestrogen production cycles the field. Phytoestrogen plants can result lower ovulation rates grazing animals. Aims We aimed to determine whether sequential infections P. medicaginis increase p...

Climate change in the Mediterranean-like regions of South Africa has resulted increased rainfall variability, a delayed start to wet winter season, and occurrences out-of-season summer events. These changes bioclimatic conditions are predicted become more pronounced and, therefore, could result poor seedling establishment false breaks from soil seed bank, followed by desiccation annual medic cl...

Background and Aims: Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoa that is associated with vaginitis, cervicitis, urethritis and other vaginal disorders. Current study aimed to evaluate the anti-Trichomonas activity of Medicago sativa and Satureja hortensis, in vitro. Materials and Methods: Ethanolic extract of Medicago sativa and Satureja hortensis were obtained by rotary evaporator. anti-T...

Data format: BayesPref requires that data be provided as an object class matrix. The data provided in "YGGVdata" is oviposition preference data for Lycaeides populations from Yuba Gap, CA and Gardnerville, NV. Here, the populations have been coded numerically. That is, Yuba Gap is population 1 and Gardnerville is population 2. The abbreviations for plant species are as follows: Ast, Astragalus ...

The relationship between environment and abundance of rhizobia was described by determining the populations of root nodule bacteria at 14 diverse sites on the island of Maui. Mean annual rainfall at the sites ranged from 320 to 1,875 mm, elevation from 37 to 1,650 m, and soil pH from 4.6 to 7.9. Four different soil orders were represented in this study: inceptisols, mollisols, ultisols, and an ...

The rhizobia present in a single arid region Tunisian soil that nodulate Medicago laciniata and Medicago truncatula were compared. All isolates, 40 from each host, were Sinorhizobium meliloti based on 16S rRNA polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) patterns and subsequent confirmation by sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes in four representatives from ...

BACKGROUND The ability to induce flowering on demand is of significant biotechnological interest. FT protein has been recently identified as an important component of the mobile flowering hormone, florigen, whose function is conserved across the plant kingdom. We therefore focused on manipulation of both endogenous and heterologous FT genes to develop a floral induction system where flowering w...
