In vitro ruminal digestion of anthocyanidin-containing alfalfa transformed with the maize Lc regulatory gene Abstract In vitro ruminal digestion was conducted on novel “purple-green” alfalfa forage that accumulated anthocyanidin and proanthocyanidins through the expression of a maize bHLH anthocyanidin regulatory gene (Lc). The Lc-transgenic genotypes were compared with parental (non-transformed, NT) alfalfa in their in

Bioassay for assessing resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heynh.) to the adult crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Abstract A bioassay arena and a laboratory screening protocol were developed for assessing lines of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heynh.) for feeding damage by the adult crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze). The arena consists of
