On the use of ultraviolet photography and ultraviolet wing patterns in butterfly morphology and taxonomy [PDF]
, 2000 In a series of feeding experiments we found that, depending on the larval food plant species or part of food plant ingested, individuals of the blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus (Lycaenidae) exhibit broad variation of wing patterns in the ultraviolet (UV)

Medicago LINC complexes function in nuclear morphology, nuclear movement, and root nodule symbiosis 1[OPEN] [PDF]
, 2018 Nuclear movement is involved in cellular and developmental processes across eukaryotic life, often driven by Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes, which bridge the nuclear envelope (NE) via the interaction of Klarsicht/ ANC-1/Syne-1

Rhizobial motility preference in root colonization of Medicago truncatula
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Tunnel‐like infection thread (IT) structures support root colonization by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria in most legume species. These tip‐grown structures are key to directing rhizobia from root hairs to developing nodules, where they are hosted to fix nitrogen.

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]
, 2014 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

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is known as the ‘King of Forage’ because of its high protein content and excellent palatability. Alfalfa productivity is adversely affected in cold regions with saline‐alkali soils. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of alfalfa to combined saline‐alkali and low‐temperature stress under field conditions
