Alternative techniques using in vitro culture have been successfully developed for the management of germplasm of Sesbania sesban. The results of a research at ILCA are presented. Techniques have successfully been developed for the initiation of cultures on Murashige and Skoog media, shoot propag...
Aqueous acetone extracts of mature leaves from 10 accessions of two species of Sesbania plants were prepared and anlysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC phenolic profiles were used to develop a classification rule to distinguish between accessions. Out of the 44 mature ...

The use of HPLC-derived phenolic profiles as a means of classifying Sesbania accessions
Phenolic concentration in the leaves from 103 different accessions of Sesbania sesban (L) Merr was determined and HPLC was used to analyse the extractable phenolics. The chromatograms were subjected to cluster analysis. large variation was observed between accessions in the soluble phenolic and i...

The samatic chromosome number in Sesbania in Sesbania sesban var. nubica, S. goetzei and S. keniensis (Leguminosae; papilionoidae) was found to be 2n=12. These findings were in agreement with earlier reports on S. sesban and S. keniensis. The chronomosome number 2n=12 is a new record for S. goetz...

The mating system of Sesbania sesban was studied using one natural population and two cultivated populations. A large number of progeny (600) was assayed from each population for one polymorphic locus of Malate dehydrogenase (Mdh). The level of out-crossing in the studied populations ranged from ...

This chapter reviews the extensive literature on the toxicity and nutritional effects of secondary plant compounds (SPC) in forages. It discusses results from the research on two forages, Sesbania sesban and Trifolium pratense (red clover), as a way of illustrating the effects of SPC on forage ev...
