Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala)
2015Subabool (Leucaena leucocephala) is a leguminous fodder-fuel-fertilizer adding tree/shrub which can grow even in poor soils under low and medium rainfall. It can be grown alone or intercropped with grass and other field crops to some extent. In semiarid climate, it is not possible to grow green fodder throughout the year.

First record of Cercosporella leucaenae on Leucaena leucocephala in Australia
Australasian Plant Pathology, 1996Cercosporella leucaenae is reported for the first time from Australia. It defoliated leaflets of cultivated Leucaena leucocephala at Kununurra, Western Australia during April 1995. By late April 1995 C. leucaenae was substantially colonised by the mycoparasite Dicyma pulvinata.

Rooting ability of Leucaena leucocephala stem cuttings
Agroforestry Systems, 1998Single-node leafy and leafless cuttings harvested from one-year-old, 1.3 to 1.5 m tall Leucaena leucocephala seedlings were successfully rooted in a non-mist propagator which is suitable for use in the rural tropics. Cuttings with a leaf attached rooted more successfully than those without a leaf (71% and 39% respectively) and clones differed ...

Leucaena leucocephala in poultry nutrition — A review
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1989Abstract The nutritional attributes of Leucaena leucocephala and the factors limiting its use in poultry diets have been the subject of considerable research over the past 10 years. Recent data confirm the previous findings concerning the favourable proximate composition of Leucaena leaf meal (LLM), although the carotenoid content of this legume ...

Nitrogen cycling in leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) alley cropping in semi-arid tropics
Plant and Soil, 1993In an alley cropping system, prunings from the hedgerow legume are expected to supply nitrogen (N) to the associated cereal. However, this may not be sufficient to achieve maximum crop yield. Three field experiments with alley-cropped maize were conducted in a semi-arid environment in northern Australia to determine: (1) the effect of N fertilizer on ...

Rheological characterization of the galactomannan from Leucaena leucocephala seed
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2012A water soluble galactomannan isolated from Leucaena leucocephala seeds gave an intrinsic viscosity of 3.5 dl/g and viscosity average molecular mass, M(v), of 6.98 × 10(5) g/mol. This was in reasonably good agreement with the value of the weight average molecular mass, M(w), of 5.44 ± 0.20 × 10(5) g/mol determined by GPC-MALLS coupled to RI.

Identification of drought-induced genes in giant leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala subsp. glabrata)
Trees, 2018A number of drought-induced genes have been identified from giant leucaena. Leucaena leucocephala subspecies glabrata (leucaena), which is also known as ‘giant leucaena’, is a multipurpose tree legume that can be grown and maintained as a woody tree for wood and paper pulp production, or as a shrubby legume through repeated harvest of foliage for use ...

Heterologous Expression and Characterization of Mimosinase from Leucaena leucocephala
2016Heterologous expression of eukaryotic genes in bacterial system is an important method in synthetic biology to characterize proteins. It is a widely used method, which can be sometimes quite challenging, as a number of factors that act along the path of expression of a transgene to mRNA, and mRNA to protein, can potentially affect the expression of a ...
