Diversification of Sinorhizobium populations associated with Medicago polymorpha and Medicago lupulina in purple soil of China. [PDF]
The double selection of environment adaptation and host specificity forced the diversification of rhizobia in nature. In the tropical region of China, Medicago polymorpha and Medicago lupulina are widely distributed, particularly in purple soil. However, the local distribution and diversity of rhizobia associated with these legumes has not been ...

Mycorrhiza-Induced Alterations in Metabolome of Medicago lupulina Leaves during Symbiosis Development. [PDF]
The present study is aimed at disclosing metabolic profile alterations in the leaves of the Medicago lupulina MlS-1 line that result from high-efficiency arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis formed with Rhizophagus irregularis under condition of a low phosphorus level in the substrate.

The genome sequence of the Black Medic, <i>Medicago lupulina</i> L. [PDF]
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Black Medic, Medicago lupulina (Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fabales; Fabaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 575.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

No evidence for adaptation to local rhizobial mutualists in the legume Medicago lupulina. [PDF]
Abstract Local adaptation is a common but not ubiquitous feature of species interactions, and understanding the circumstances under which it evolves illuminates the factors that influence adaptive population divergence.

Exploring the genetic diversity of the IPK Medicago germplasm collection using GBS. [PDF]
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing of 1234 accessions from the Medicago collection of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) revealed broad genetic diversity across 40 species, providing one of the first genus‐wide insights into relationships between both cultivated and wild species of Medicago.

Mutualism Mediates Legume Response to Microbial Climate Legacies. [PDF]
Heat, drought, and their legacies can alter soil microbiomes and potential plant symbionts, but the direct consequences of these microbial changes on plant performance and plant investment in symbiosis remain underexplored. In this study, we conducted growth chamber experiments to isolate the microbially mediated indirect effects of heat and drought on

Morphological and anatomical structure of Medicago Lupulina L. flowers
The genus Alfalfa of the legume family (Fabaceae) includes about 60 species of herbaceous plants. One of the most widespread representatives in Russia and Kazakhstan is Medicago lupulina L. In the scientific medicine of Russia and Kazakhstan Medicago lupulina L. is currently not used. There is no approved pharmacopoeial article for this plant. However,

Geographically structured genetic variation in the Medicago lupulina – Ensifer mutualism [PDF]
AbstractMutualisms are interspecific interactions affecting the ecology and evolution of species. Patterns of geographic variation in interacting species may play an important role in understanding how variation is maintained in mutualisms, particularly in introduced ranges.

Studies on Medicago lupulina saponins. 4. Variation in the saponin content of M. lupulina
The saponin content in the tops of black medic trefoil cv. Renata as well as in some botanical and breeding lines of <em>M. lupulina</em> was analysed. It was found that the concentration of biologically active (hemolytically active) saponins in the tops of <em>M. lupulina</em> cv. Renata was 2.5% of dry matter.

Biological diversity of black medic (Medicago lupulina L.)
Black medic is widely spread across all continents in temperate and subtropical zones. The species is moderately demanding to the growing conditions. It has been subdivided into three groups of monocarpic, biennial polycarpic, and perennial polycarpic plants. Those in the first group of monocarpics can be annual, biennial and perennial.
