Genetic relatedness in different Medicago sativa lines based on polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA specific sequences

, 2010
Two synthetic populations (Syn-5 and Syn-7), four inbred lines and four landraces of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were studied for genetic relatedness. These forms were characterized by different amount of seeds set and green mass yield. Two primer pairs

Evaluation of soda saline-alkali tolerance in six Medicago sativa varieties

Siliao yanjiu
This study aimed to investigate the effects of soda saline-alkali stress on seed germination in six Medicago sativa varieties. The dish filter paper germination method was employed, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) were mixed at ...

Planted grasslands have equivalent or higher arthropod biomass than native grassland important to nesting Sprague's Pipits (Anthus spragueii) early in the breeding season

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...

The role of seed mix characteristics and soil amendments during post‐agricultural prairie restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Prairie restoration on degraded lands may be influenced by seed mix characteristics, including species richness and legume establishment. Soil amendments may facilitate restoration; however, the practical usefulness of techniques such as applications of whole soil and leaf mulch remains relatively unclear.

Endogenous resistance to insect pests in alfalfa: engineering for enhanced resistance [PDF]

, 1997
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a valuable forage crop grown throughout the World. While the crop is resistant to attack by many insect pests, it is subject to potentially severe losses through the action of several specific pests, which are adapted to ...

EFFECT OF SALANITY ON GERMINATION OF TRIFOLIUM REPENS, DACTYLIS GLOMERATA AND MEDICAGO SATIVA.

FUUAST Journal of Biology, 2015
Effect of salinity on three imported seeds i.e. Trifolium repens, Dactylis glomerata and Medicago sativa was studied during the present study. Experiments were conducted in salinity induced soils. Seed germination and speed of germination were recorded.

Herbage components in nitrogen‐fertilized and legume‐containing double‐cropped annual and perennial forages in eastern Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Diverse perennial circular systems that focus on grazing offer many environmental benefits. However, the use of annual forages may be necessary where perennial pastures have declined. Our study sought to evaluate herbage components in a double‐cropped annual forage experiment with triticale [×Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus (Secale × Triticum)

Utilizing high‐throughput phenotyping to identify metribuzin tolerance in winter wheat

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Plant breeders and weed scientists address weed management collaboratively by selecting for herbicide tolerance in breeding programs. Metribuzin, a Group 5 PSII‐inhibiting herbicide, is labeled for use in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, application to currently available lines results in frequent, variable, and unpredictable crop injury.

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress
