“…During plant maturation a decrease in leaf and increase in stem proportion and the process of lignification all result in a decrease in forage quality and digestibility. Similar trend of changes of chemical composition in perennial and annual clovers herbage during cutting through different development stages was previously determined by Vasiljević et al (2009), Marković et al (2011), ), Fracchiolla et al (2018 and Wróbel and Zielewicz (2019).…”

“…Development stage and cutting time are certainly one of the major factors determining quality and quantity parameters of the forage crops (Marković et al, 2011;Testa et al, 2011;Min, 2016;Monirifar et al, 2020). The results of ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between different development stages for all the investigated agronomic and forage quality traits in red clover cultivar/population (Table 1).…”

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is the second most important cultivated perennial forage legume used as a fodder for livestock. Agronomic and forage quality traits of red clover are dependent on various factors, including optimal phenological stage for cutting in order to obtain forage with high nutritive value and yield. Three different development stages (full budding, beginning of flowering, full flowering) of two red clover genotypes were examined in order to determine changes in agronomic and forage nutritive values. The stage of plant development at the time of cutting significantly affected yields and forage nutritive values of red clover compared to the choice of cultivar. Forage cut at full flowering resulted in the highest values of green mass, dry matter yield and crude protein yield and plant height, however the forage quality with the plant maturation rapidly decreased. The correlations between the investigated traits confirmed a negative relationship between yields and forage nutritive quality.

“…Regardless of the course of meteorological conditions in subsequent growing seasons, the increase of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in the subsequent dates of the harvest was observed. The findings of our experiment concerning the rates of changes in the chemical composition of meadow plants during harvest at different dates of harvest are in accordance with results regarding species-rich hay meadows [BOOB et al 2019], Trifolium pratense L. [ELGERSMA, SØEGAARD 2018;MARKOVIĆ et. al.…”

The content of structural carbohydrates and lignin are important assessment criteria of the feed value of meadow plants. It is affected by many independent factors, including among others its development stage during the harvest as well as climatic conditions, especially the amount of rainfall. During the years 2014-2016, plant samples were harvested at weekly intervals, respectively five times from late April to late May. The effect of harvest date on cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin contents was evaluated. The chemical composition of plants was varied, depending not only on harvest date but also on the year of study. Regardless of the course of meteorological conditions in subsequent growing seasons, the increase of cellulose (from 236.5 to 297.9 g•kg -1 DM), hemicelluloses (from 159.3 to 210.8 g•kg -1 DM), and lignin (from 31.5 to 43.1 g•kg -1 DM) in the following dates of harvest were observed. These parameters were also positively correlated with the total rainfall from the begging of vegetation season to the date of plants sampling (R 2 = 0.65, 0.12 and 0.44 for cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, respectively), and with the average daily air temperature in the moment of harvest (R 2 = 0.66, 0.32 and 0.52 for cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, respectively). The cellulose and lignin content, regardless of the harvest date, were significantly higher in the first year of the study (2014), when moisture conditions for plant development were optimal.

“…However, the decline in forisome dispersion with increasing plant age in T. pratense (from 68.1% to 43.7%, see Figure 2C) and aphid-free V. faba (from 73.7% to 55.6%, see Figure 1B) might result from changes in signal transduction. With increasing age, more lignin is deposited in the cell walls, increasing the rigidity of the vascular system [60]. This may negatively affect the hydraulic pressure wave necessary to transmit the VP and, hence, prevent VP-triggered forisome dispersion [61,62].…”

Although phloem-feeding insects such as aphids can cause significant damage to plants, relatively little is known about early plant defenses against these insects. As a first line of defense, legumes can stop the phloem mass flow through a conformational change in phloem proteins known as forisomes in response to Ca2+ influx. However, specialized phloem-feeding insects might be able to suppress the conformational change of forisomes and thereby prevent sieve element occlusion. To investigate this possibility, we triggered forisome dispersion through application of a local heat stimulus to the leaf tips of pea (Pisum sativum), clover (Trifolium pratense) and broad bean (Vicia faba) plants infested with different pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) host races and monitored forisome responses. Pea aphids were able to suppress forisome dispersion, but this depended on the infesting aphid host race, the plant species, and the age of the plant. Differences in the ability of aphids to suppress forisome dispersion may be explained by differences in the composition and quantity of the aphid saliva injected into the plant. Various mechanisms of how pea aphids might suppress forisome dispersion are discussed.
