| nodsu, two new nod genes of the broad host range rhizobium strain ngr234 encode host-specific nodulation of the tropical tree leucaena leucocephala. | rhizobium species strain ngr234 nodulates at least 35 diverse genera of legumes as well as the nonlegume parasponia andersonii. most nodulation genes are located on the 500-kilobase pair symbiotic plasmid, pngr234a. previously, three plasmid-borne host range determinants (hsni, hsnii, and hsniii) were identified by their ability to extend the nodulation capacity of heterologous rhizobia to include vigna unguiculata. in this study, we show that hsnii contains two new nod-box linked hsn genes, nod ... | 1990 | 2134856 |
| induction of pathogenic-like responses in the legume macroptilium atropurpureum by a transposon-induced mutant of the fast-growing, broad-host-range rhizobium strain ngr234. | mutant strain anu2861, a transposon tn5 mutant of the fast-growing, broad-host-range rhizobium strain anu280 (ngr234 smr rfr) overproduces polysaccharide, is an ade auxotroph, and induces poorly developed nodules on leucaena leucocephala and lablab purpureus (h.c. chen, m. batley, j.w. redmond, and b.g. rolfe, j. plant physiol. 120:331-349, 1985). strain anu2861 cannot form nodules on macroptilium atropurpureum urb. (siratro) or on desmodium intortum and d. uncinatum and the nonlegume parasponia ... | 1988 | 2832384 |

| digestion of 14c-labelled condensed tannins from desmodium intortum in sheep and goats. | an experiment was conducted to investigate the metabolism of condensed tannin (ct) in sheep and goats offered a mixture of digitaria decumbens (700 g/kg) and desmodium intortum (300 g/kg) hay. radioactive 14co2 was used to label ct in young growing desmodium plants, [14c]ct was extracted, purified and infused intraruminally, and the metabolism of [14c]ct was followed in the rumen and lower digestive tract of both species. digestion of dm, organic matter (om), cell-wall constituents (cwc), n and ... | 1996 | 8942359 |
| the effects of condensed tannins from desmodium intortum and calliandra calothyrsus on protein and carbohydrate digestion in sheep and goats. | a factorial experiment was conducted to study the effects of condensed tannins (ct) from the tropical legumes desmodium intortum and calliandra calothyrsus on the digestion and utilization of protein and carbohydrate in sheep and goats. ct-free centrosema pubescens was also fed for comparison with the ct legumes, and each legume was included (300 g/kg dm) in a basal diet of pangola grass (digitaria decumbens). pangola grass alone was used as a control diet. there were no significant (p > 0.05) d ... | 1996 | 8942360 |
| effect of polyethylene glycol on in vitro degradability of nitrogen and microbial protein synthesis from tannin-rich browse and herbaceous legumes. | determination of microbial degradability of n is important in formulating a sound supplementation strategy for efficient utilisation of basal as well as supplementary diet components. in vitro degradability of n (ivdn) from tannin-containing browses (acacia cyanophylla, acacia albida, acioa barteri and quercus ilex) and two herbaceous legumes (desmodium intortum and desmodium uncinatum) was determined using the in vitro gas-production method coupled with nh3-n measurement in the presence and abs ... | 2000 | 10961163 |
| [ecological control effects of litchi chinensis-desmodium intortum complex plant ecosystem on litchi pests]. | an investigation on the community structure and dynamics of litchi pests and their natural enemies in constructed litchi chinensis-desmodium intortum complex plant ecosystem and single l. chinensis ecosystem showed that the total amount of litchi pests in the complex plant ecosystem was 61.27% of that in the single ecosystem in whole year, and only 50.45% in may, the key time for fruit development, which suggested that there was an interaction between d. intortum and l. chinensis. d. intortum an ... | 2006 | 16689252 |
| voluntary intake, chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of fresh forages fed to guinea pigs in periurban rearing systems of kinshasa (democratic republic of congo). | the daily voluntary intake (dvi) of guinea pigs (gp) fed 15 fresh forages used in periurban rearing systems of kinshasa (democratic republic of congo) was investigated. in order to determine the best forages combination for gp diet, dvi was compared to their nutritional value measured in vitro using (1) a pepsin-pancreatin hydrolysis, (2) an gas fermentation test on the hydrolysed residues with an inoculum prepared from gp faeces, and (3) the chemical composition of the offered feeds and the hyd ... | 2007 | 17966272 |
| feeding value of enset (ensete ventricosum), desmodium intortum hay and untreated or urea and calcium oxide treated wheat straw for sheep. | feed intake, in vivo nutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization were evaluated in male sheep fed different fractions (leaf, pseudostem, corm, whole plant) of enset, untreated or 2% urea- and 3% calcium oxide- (cao or lime) treated wheat straw and desmodium intortum hay as sole diets. all feeds, except d. intortum hay and enset leaf had low crude protein (cp) content. non-fiber carbohydrate contents were higher in enset fractions, especially in pseudostem and corm relative to other feeds. en ... | 2009 | 19386013 |
| digestibility and nitrogen utilization in sheep fed enset (ensete ventricosum) pseudostem or corm and graded levels of desmodium intortum hay to wheat straw-based diets. | the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of desmodium intortum (desmodium) hay supplementation in sheep fed fixed amounts of enset pseudostem or corm and a basal diet of wheat straw on intake, digestibility and nitrogen utilization. eighteen male sheep with a mean (± sd) live weight of 20.5 ± 1.45 kg were assigned to six treatments in a completely randomized design and fed either 108 g dry matter (dm) enset pseudostem or 165 g dm enset corm each with three levels ... | 2010 | 20050945 |
