Abstract:
As important forage crops,legume forage plants can play an important role in improving natural environment, maintenins water and soil. With development of molecular biology and improvement of plant transformation techniques,molecular breeding of legume forage plants by biotechnology is possible. This review summarized recent progress on improvement of several forage crops,including improvement of nutrient quality, increase of biomass,enhancement of the assimilation and efficient absorb of nutrient element, and enhancement of abiotic and biotic stress resistance.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
Overview of Metabolism
Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...
