It tends to brown when cut for hay, due to oxidation of phenolic compounds catalyzed by polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and subsequent binding to proteins. Selecting for a greener hay may provide information about the relationship of browning, PPO, and phenolics to each other. The red clover Kenland cultivar was selected over eight breeding cycles for decreased browning after being cut and dried 48 h in the field. Expression of PPO1 and PPO3, in Kenland and three of the eight cycles, was compared by real-time quantitative PCR. Phenolic compounds in Kenland and Cycle 8, collected 0, 24, and 48 h after cutting, were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Visual browning scores decreased 12% between Kenland and Cycle 8 (P = 0.02). PPO1 and PPO3 gene expression were not affected by selection. Clovamide decreased 26% in Cycle 8 relative to Kenland (P = 0.016). Sissotrin decreased 10% in Cycle 8 (P = 0.043). Neither total formononetin nor total biochanin A was affected by selection (P = 0.63 and 0.45, respectively). These results suggest that when selecting clover for decreased postharvest browning, a decrease occurs in a phenolic compound that can bind protein independently of PPO. However, PPO1 and PPO3 gene expression, and the major red clover isoflavones, are minimally affected.展开更多

The results showed that the integration of water and nitrogen metabolism occured among parental, young and old branches of a plant when water passed through its stolons. Under the sufficient supply of light, water and nutrients from soil the newly developed branches showed similar capacity in taking in sufficient water and nitrogen to that of old branches. The development of the new branches did not affect the growth of the old and parental branches attached. The results also indicated that energy values in roots was significantly related with plant age, however, the energy values were various in the different parts of a plant.展开更多

Life cycle of A. glycines is characterized as heteroecious and holocyclic. The primary hosts of A. glycines are Rhamnus spp. and the secondary hosts include cultivated soybean, Glycine max(L.) Merr, and wild soybean, Glycine soja Sieb.& Zucc. In this study, A. glycines were fed on Trifolium repens L. and Metaplexis japonica(Thunb.) Makino for three generations and their development, reproduction and body sizes were studied. These data were compared to the control fed on the known hosts, G. max and G. soja. These newly deposited offspring by the 3 rd generation were transferred back onto G. max and these differences in their development, reproduction and body sizes were also studied. It showed that A. glycines all could survive, develop and reproduce well, when they were fed on T. repens and M. japonica for three generations, but there were significant differences in their nymph stage, adult longevity and fecundity, life table parameters and body sizes. When these offspring were transferred back onto G. max which were newly deposited by the 3 rd generation aphids fed on T. repens and M. japonica, they could survive, develop and reproduce well, but there were significant differences in their nymph stage, adult longevity, intrinsic rate of increase and body sizes. It provided important information for studies on host adaptability of A. glycines on T. repens and M. japonica and to make clear the potential that this aphid involved into host biotypes on these plants.展开更多

The number of alleles ranged from 7 to 10. Microsatellite allele distribution showed that 15 alleles were common for all the red clover cultivars (17.2%). The red clover cultivars were represented by homozygous and heterozygous genotypes. The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.067 to 0.269 and from 0.225 to 0.807, respectively. An analysis of molecular variance revealed that the largest proportion of variation (68.5%) resided at the intrapopulation level. Differentiation of the Ukrainian cultivars was moderately expressed (FST = 0.07).展开更多
