Common Names: Dutch clover, ladino clover, white clover, white Dutch clover
Researchers studied how different white clover varieties respond to high levels of aluminum stress in acidic soil. They found that Trifolium repens has high aluminum toxicity tolerance, accumulating 70% of aluminum in roots. Understanding these responses can help improve crop tolerance to acidic conditions.
Scientists examined the expression of β-CAS and AOX in cyanogenic and acyanogenic plants and found their importance in detoxifying and tolerating hydrogen cyanide stress. This research fills a gap in understanding the molecular mechanisms in cyanogenic species and helps with developing strategies for stress tolerance in plants.
