Biomass Allocation is an Important Determinant of the Tannin Concentration in Growing Plants [PDF]

, 2017
Background and aims Condensed tannins (CTs) in the diet affect consumers in a concentration-dependent manner. Because of their importance in plant defence against herbivores and pathogens as well as their potential application against gastrointestinal ...

Nitrogen Fixation and Resource Partitioning in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), Cicer Milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) and Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) Using 15N Enrichment under Controlled Environment Conditions

Agronomy, 2020
Availability of nitrogen (N) limits pasture production. Inclusion of legumes into grass pastures can provide an alternative N source through biological N2 fixation (BNF), and enhance retention and cycling of soil C and N.

Oat Cover Crop Integration in Alfalfa‐Tall Fescue Mixed Grasslands: Optimizing Sowing Ratios and Spatial Arrangements for Enhanced Productivity and Weed Suppression

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT The integration of cover crops during forage establishment represents a widely adopted agronomic strategy to suppress weed emergence, enhance stand establishment, and improve grassland community stability. In this study, a two‐year field experiment (2023–2024) was conducted in Jiaozhou, Shandong Province, China, to evaluate the effects of ...

Plant Enemy-derived Elicitors Increase the Foliar Tannin Concentration of Onobrychis viciifolia Without a Trade-off to Growth [PDF]

, 2017
Background and Aims Molecular experiments suggest that the regulation of the biosynthesis of condensed tannin (CT) is sensitive to the presence of plant enemies.

Can strategic integration of cultivated pasture legumes into temperate agricultural systems provide stability to honey bee populations and associated industries?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 603-620, May 2025.
Humans and honey bees have a long history of interaction to yield valued products and services. However, honey bees are under pressure from changes in vegetation, agricultural practices and climate change. We investigate if pasture legumes can be harnessed to support honey bees. We use a diverse set of species that originated from the Mediterranean and

Naturalized alien plants experience less negative soil‐legacy effects and gain competitive advantages through spatial heterogeneity

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1208-1219, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With the number of naturalized alien plant species continuously increasing, it has become of major interest to understand how they can coexist with or even outcompete native species.

Bioactive forage and phytotherapy to cure and control endo-parasite diseases in sheep and goat farming systems – a review of current scientific knowledge [PDF]

, 2007
Infestation with gastro-intestinal nematodes (GIN) in small ruminants can cause severe economic losses and endanger animal welfare. The development of organic farming systems, the increased public awareness for drug residues in agricultural products and ...

Intraspecific variation in plant–soil feedback depends on plant dominance while interspecific variation is unrelated to plant community structure

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 5, Page 1281-1292, May 2025.
Plant dominance had stronger effects on microbiome assembly and plant–soil feedback (PSF) than plant diversity. Although plant diversity did not reduce negative PSF, independent variation in PSF within and among species suggests additive benefits of genetic and species diversity for dilution of plant responses to pathogens. Understanding this variation,

Anthelmintic activities against Haemonchus contortus or Trichostrongylus colubriformis from small ruminants are influenced by structural features of condensed tannins [PDF]

, 2015
Plants containing condensed tannins (CTs) may hold promise as alternatives to synthetic anthelmintic (AH) drugs for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs). However, the structural features that contribute to the AH activities of CTs remain elusive.
