In this second part, we will test a number of specimens of the same species in each of several locations for variation of cyanogenesis in a population. We will use Trifolium repens (white clover) or Lotus comiculatus (birdsfoot trefoil). To collect the plants in a systematic fashion, we lay out a grid. Sticks mark the ends of rows (transects) on a lawn or in a field. We start with one plant, then pick one plant 1 m along the transect, and so forth. If no plant of interest exists at that point, the closest plant is chosen, and the next one will be 1 m from that, and so on. 

Burton (1959) states that there are 25 cross-inoculation groups, but only 8 of these are of commercial importance. These are the alfalfa, clover, pea, bean, lupine, soybean, cowpea and lotus groups. Rhizobia cultures are available for other groups but are prepared only as needed. Burton estimates that approximately 42% of the legume seeds planted each year in the United States are inoculated. About 68% of the total inoculant produced is for soybeans, 19% for alfalfa and clovers, and 12% for all other legume seeds.

Fig. 8.3 The degradation of the large subunit (LSU) and small subunit (SSU) of ribulose-l,5-bis-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Ruhisco) during in vitro incubation of toted ieeif protein extracted from white clover (Trifolium repens) with Streptococcus bovis rumen bacteried strrdns (105 cells innoculated) and condensed tannins extracted from Lotus comicidatus (birdsfoot trefoil). Incubations were performed with (b, CT-active) and without CT (a, CT-inactive). Sampies were removed prior (0 h) and after 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h of incubation. The sample on the left side of each gel contains the broad range molecular weight (MW) markers (Bio-RAD, Hercules, CA Min, 2012, unpublished data)...
