Source:
Acta biologica Cracoviensia 2011 v.52 no.2 pp. 76-80

Subject:
Acyrthosiphon pisum; Medicago sativa; Pisum sativum; Trifolium pratense; Vicia faba; chlorophyll; leaves
Abstract:
... We determined the chlorophyll a and b levels (SPAD readings) in uninfested leaves and in leaves after 7 and 17 days of aphid infestation in four Fabaceae species (Pisum sativum L., Vicia faba L., Trifolium pretense L, Medicago sativa L.). Feeding by pea aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris (Hemiptera: Aphididae) caused significant loss of chlorophyll a and b in the infested plants. Uninfested leaves ...

Abstract:
... Leaves from seven forage crop species were crushed in a mortar and pestle to demonstrate a relationship between susceptibility to mesophyll cell rupture and the tendency to cause bloat in ruminant animals. The bloat-causing forages were alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), and white clover (T. repens L.). The bloat-safe species were cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L. ...
