Vetch
Definition:
(n.) Any leguminous plant of the genus Vicia, some species of which are valuable for fodder. The common species is V. sativa.
Example Sentences:

(2) It hydrolyses native vetch legumin and vicilin up to peptides having on average 9 and 16 amino acid residues respectively.
(3) Transport in both vetch and barley usually declined before an elapsed time of 24 hr unlike corn, which maintained its steady state beyond 24 hr.
(4) That is, although NodH mutants lose the ability to elicit root hair curling (Hac-), infection threads (Inf-), and nodule meristem formation (Nod-) on the homologous host alfalfa, they gain the ability to be Hac+ Inf+ Nod+ on a nonhomologous host such as common vetch.
