Abstract
Two experiments were carried out on nitrogen acquisition in inbred lines of white clover (Trifolium repens) in flowing solution culture. Of the four lines assessed, one showed an impairment in nitrogen fixation such that it can be classed as a nil
fixer. Another line showed impairment of nitrate uptake. The ability to generate unusual phenotypes through inbreeding has proved valuable in this species and has opened the way to a range of studies that would not otherwise have been possible
