- Abstract:
- ... Napropamide belongs to the amide herbicide family and widely used to control weeds in farmland. Intensive use of the herbicide has resulted in widespread contamination to ecosystems. The present study demonstrated an analysis on accumulation of the toxic pesticide napropamide in six genotypes of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), along with biological parameters and its residues in soils. Soil was treated ...

- Abstract:
- ... Wild-type tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havanna line SR1) and plants transformed with full-length alfalfa ferritin cDNA with the chloroplast transit peptide under the control of a Rubisco small subunit gene promoter (C3 and C8) were cold-treated at 0 °C with continuous light (250 μmol m-2 s-1). These transgenic plants had higher chlorophyll content and higher Fv/Fm chlorophyll-a f ...

Leaves emerged normally, but starch accumulatedin the chloroplasts of the palisade mesophyll cells with maturity. Subsequently the cells of the palisade layer lost chlorophyll, exhibited ultrastructural symptoms of senescence, ...

Thus, the development of drought‐tolerant alfalfa cultivars is of great significance. A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate 11 alfalfa accessions including several that are adapted to rangeland conditions and two commercial accessions, fo ...
