Analysis of 3-nitropropionic acid in Fabaceae plants by HPLC-MS/MS. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction 3‐Nitropropionic acid (3‐NPA) is a toxic compound that can accumulate in esterified form in the Fabaceae family. In the Lotae tribe, many species have been identified as 3‐NPA producers (e.g., Securigera varia), while some of the genetically close Lotae plants were formerly reported as 3‐NPA‐free (e.g., Lotus corniculatus and ...

The Rhizobia-Lotus Symbioses: Deeply Specific and Widely Diverse [PDF]
The symbiosis between Lotus and rhizobia has been long considered very specific and only two bacterial species were recognized as the microsymbionts of Lotus: Mesorhizobium loti was considered the typical rhizobia for the L. corniculatus complex, whereas

Lotus tenuis x L. corniculatus interspecific hybridization as a means to breed bloat-safe pastures and gain insight into the genetic control of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in legumes. [PDF]
Background: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are secondary metabolites that strongly affect plant quality traits. The concentration and the structure of these metabolites influence the palatability and nutritional value of forage legumes. Hence, modulating PAs in

Antibiofilm Activity of Chilean Propolis on Streptococcus mutans Is Influenced by the Year of Collection. [PDF]
The chemical composition of propolis varies according to factors that could have an influence on its biological properties. Polyphenols from propolis have demonstrated an inhibitory effect on Streptococcus mutans growth. However, it is not known if different years of propolis collection may affect its activity.

The abandonment of seminatural Molinia meadows observed in Central and Eastern Europe during the 20th century started the secondary succession and threatened the state and persistence of populations of numerous meadow species. Considering this, the aims of the presented investigations were to study the abundance and selected traits of individuals of ...

Selecting improved Lotus nodulating rhizobia to expedite the development of new forage species [PDF]
Aims In the past decades the increasing focus by Australian pasture development programs on the genus Lotus has seen the evaluation of many species previously untested in Australia. In field trials, nodulation failure was commonplace.
