Abstract:
... Abiotic stress affects metabolic processes in plants and restricts plant growth and development. In this experiment, Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) was used as a material, and the CDS of TaMYC2, which is involved in regulating the response to abiotic stress, was cloned. The CDS of TaMYC2 was 726 bp in length and encoded 241 amino acids. The protein encoded by TaMYC2 was determined ...
... Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) is a strongly rhizomatous, low-crowned perennial leguminous and ground-covering grass. The species is resistant to cold, arid temperatures and grazing due to a well-developed underground rhizome system and a strong clonal reproduction capacity. KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX) genes are a family of plant-specific homeobox transcription factors with impor ...

Abstract:
... Prairie cordgrass (PCG) (Spartina pectinata Link) has been the focus of much scientific attention recently for use in biofuel applications, as it grows well on marginal lands that are unsuitable for row crops. This study investigated how the intercropping of kura clover (KC) (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb) with PCG for 8 yr affects soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) fractions compared with N fertilizat ...
... Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) is a perennial leguminous herbage with unique properties, such as resistance to cold, drought, and grazing. However, the response of Caucasian clover to freezing stress based on gene expression level and metabolite accumulation is unknown. This study performed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to investigate the response mechanism of Caucasian clov ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) is a strongly rhizomatous, low-crowned perennial leguminous and ground-covering grass. The species may be used as an ornamental plant and is resistant to cold, arid temperatures and grazing due to a well-developed underground rhizome system and a strong clonal reproduction capacity. However, the posttranscriptional mechanism of the develop ...
... There is a lack of persistent forage legumes for permanent pastures in eastern Canada. Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.; KC) is a long‐lived species, with demonstrated potential in various regions, however, there is a lack of information on its performance in mixtures with grasses and no comparisons with white clover (Trifolium repens L.; WC), the main legume species recommended for pastur ...

... Perennial legumes have potential to increase pasture productivity in the high rainfall zone (600–850 mm) of south-eastern Australia through their ability to use summer rainfall and fix nitrogen (N2). Various perennial legumes are being evaluated for this environment; however, little information exists on legume–rhizobia cross-host compatibility and its consequences for biological N2 fixation. This ...
... Adaptation of agriculture to climate change and its associated ecological pressures will require new crops, novel trait combinations, and previously unknown phenotypic attributes to deploy in climate resilient cropping systems. Genebanks, a primary source of exotic germplasm for novel crops and breeding materials, need comprehensive methods to detect novel and unknown phenotypes without a priori i ...

Abstract:
... Hexaploid Caucasian clover was grown in soil sampled at three New Zealand South Island high country sites to which specific rhizobium inoculum had been added with sowing of the legume in 1975, 1992 and 1997; two sites on the Lincoln University farm sown with inoculated Caucasian clover in 2012 and 2013; and six sites not sown with the crop. Caucasian clover nodulated in soil from all sites sown wi ...

Abstract:
... Optimizing nitrogen (N) management is an important factor for sustainable perennial biomass systems. However, N application is costly, both financially and environmentally. Our objectives were to determine: (1) N rate and plant spacing effects on yield and yield components of prairie cordgrass swards and (2) fertilizer N replacement value (FNRV) of kura clover in prairie cordgrass-kura clover bina ...
... Warm‐season annual grasses have potential to increase the productivity of Midwestern grazing systems in mid‐summer when cool‐season species production slumps. This research investigated forage nutritive value and steer performance for two warm‐season annual grasses, corn (Zea mays L.) and sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.], intercropped with Kura clover (Trifolium abiguum M. Bieb.). Mixture ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Prebreeding in plants is the activity designed to identify useful characteristics from wild germplasm and its integration in breeding programs. Prebreeding aims to introduce new variation into the populations of a species of interest. Pedigree analysis is a valuable tool for evaluation of variation in genebanks where pedigree maps are used to visualize and describe population structure ...
... Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) is a perennial living mulch species that can be used in conjunction with zone tillage to reduce nitrogen pollution, maintain ground cover, and provide nitrogen to crops. In such systems, kura clover is maintained between crop rows by limiting tillage only to within-row areas. However, the effect of zone-tilled living mulches on soil quality and nutrient cycling in ...
... KEY MESSAGE: The widely divergent species 4xTrifolium ambiguum and 2xT.occidentale are inter-fertile long after speciation (including polyploidisation) has occurred. Tri-species hybrids (T. repens × T. ambiguum × T. occidentale) have the potential to achieve introgression of stress resistant traits from both wild species into white clover. Trifolium ambiguum and T. occidentale are geographically, ...

Abstract:
... Perennial cover crops, also known as living mulches, have the capacity to improve soil quality, yet their effects on nitrogen (N) cycling and provisioning in organic systems are not well understood. We evaluated soil N contributions of kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) between and within crop rows for four zone tillage approaches of varying intensity for corn (Zea mays). In 2015 and 2016, an establ ...

Abstract:
... Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) perennial living mulch is a farming practice designed to pair water quality services and row crop production. In this system, rows are mechanically or chemically killed within a perennial kura clover stand to create a suitable environment for planting a crop. However, yields are often reduced relative to conventional, fully-tilled systems. This hypothesis was ...

Abstract:
... Optimizing the use of N fertilization is the major factor for establishing perennial grasses to enhance the biomass production and soil health under marginally yielding croplands. A study was conducted to investigate the influence of N fertilization and intercropping of kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb) (KC) with prairie cordgrass (PCG) (Spartina pectinata Link.) on soil biochemical activit ...
... BACKGROUND: Trifolium ambiguum occurs as a 2x, 4x, 6x polyploid series in W Asia. The 6x form is the most agronomically desirable, having strong rhizomatous spread and drought tolerance. These traits would be potentially very valuable if they could be transferred to white clover (T. repens) which is the most important agronomic clover species. However, to-date, no fertile interspecific hybrids wit ...
... Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) is known to develop an extensive rhizome system when grown in monoculture. However, there is no information about the effects that competition from companion grasses could have on its rhizome development. This study was conducted to determine the difference in rhizome development of kura clover planted in grass, grass plus nitrogen (grass + N) fertilizer, ...
