Alfalfa vein mottling virus, a novel potyvirid infecting Medicago sativa L.
We have recently identified a novel virus detected in alfalfa seed material. The virus was tentatively named alfalfa-associated potyvirus 1, as its genomic fragments bore similarities with potyvirids. In this ... (Source: Virology Journal)

Characterization of the microRNA408-LACCASE5 module as a regulatory axis for photosynthetic efficiency in Medicago ruthenica: implications for forage yield enhancement
Medicago ruthenica is closely related to Medicago sativa, a commonly cultivated forage. Characterized by its high tolerance to environmental stress, M. ruthenica is a valuable genetic resource. However, low yield limits its large-scale utilization. Leaf morphology, an important agronomic trait, is closely related to forage yield and photosynthetic efficiency. In the presented study, “Correlation of Leaf Morphology and Photosynthetic Performance with Forage Yield in Medicago ruthenica: The Underlying Molecular Mechanisms,” comprehensive data analysis revealed a significant positive association between leaf width and lea...

Enhanced simultaneous removal of phosphate and ammonium from swine wastewater using magnetic magnesium-loaded Chinese herbal medicine residues: Performance, mechanism, and resource utilization
Bioresour Technol. 2023 Nov 24:130103. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130103. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMagnetic magnesium (Mg)-loaded Chinese herbal medicine residues (MM-TCMRs) were fabricated to simultaneously remove and recover phosphate and ammonium from wastewater. The MM-TCMRs exhibited larger specific surfaces and rougher structures with massive spherical particles than those of original residues. They could be separated by adjusting the magnetic field. The phosphate and ammonium adsorption by MM-TCMRs were matched with the pseudo-second-order model, while the Langmuir model yielded the maximum adsorption capacit...

Novel underlying regulatory mechanism of the MsDAD2-mediated salt stress response in alfalfa
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2023 Nov 16;690:149252. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149252. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a crucial and widely grown forage legume, faces yield and quality challenges due to salinity stress. The defender against apoptotic death (DAD) gene, recognized initially as an apoptosis suppressor in mammals, plays a pivotal role in catalyzing N-glycosylation, acting as a positive regulator for protein folding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export. Here, we found that the MsDAD2 gene was specially induced in the salt-tolerant alfalfa cultivar (DL) under salinity stress, but not i...

Utilization of treated municipal effluent for irrigating agricultural land in Palestine: The driving factors and existing practices
This article investigates the motivations and practices of using treated wastewater (TWW) to irrigate crop fields in Jenin, Palestine. Around 40 farmers were surveyed for data collection. The results showed that 66% of the farmers grew alfalfa crops while 30% grew fruit trees. The main obstacles the farmers faced before starting to use TWW were disgust (68.2%), worries about the quality of TWW (68.2%), health concerns (63.6%), and concerns about adverse effects on the soil (63.6%). All interviewed farmers considered the establishing and funding of an irrigation project to be the cornerstone for any reuse project. The secon...
