The inability to utilize a fungal siderophore as source of iron nutrition by most of the rhizobial cultures isolated from pigeon pea, could be considered a negative fitness factor since hydroxamate siderophores are found in significant amounts in natural soils. Thus these cultures were engineered to use ferrichrome a prototype of hydroxamate type siderophore. Pigeon pea Rhizobium spp. IC3123 and ST1 harboring Escherichia coli fhuA gene, responsible for uptake of Fe3+-ferrichrome, were obtained by transformation with pGR1, a broad host range plasmid carrying the fhuA gene under the control of the lac promoter of E. coli. Expression of fhuA in transformed rhizobial strains IC3123::pGR1 and ST1::pGR1 was confirmed by the ability of the plasmid-bearing strains to utilize iron bound to ferrichrome. Inoculation of pigeon pea plants with fhuA expressing rhizobial strains in pot experiments showed a significant increase in plant growth as well as nodule density as compared to those inoculated with the parent as well as the empty vector-bearing strain. Inoculation of pigeon pea seedlings with IC3123::pGR1 and ST1::pGR1 led to marked increase in shoot fresh weight, nodule number per plant, chlorophyll content of leaves and effective nodule symbiosis when compared with plants inoculated with the parent strains IC3123 and ST1. The positive effect of IC3123::pGR1 and ST1::pGR1 treatment on plant growth was more significantly observed when ferrichrome producing Ustilago maydis, known to secrete ferrichrome, was co-inoculated along with the transformed rhizobia. The presence of fhuA gene in rhizobial strains also led to an increased survival and root colonization.  相似文献

The comparative symbiotic properties of Rhizobium spp. and Bradyrhizobium spp. strains infecting pigeon pea were evaluated. Bradyrhizobium strains (Cajanus) were found to be superior to Rhizobium strains (Cajanus) and the superiority was ascertained to be due to the higher enzyme activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in comparison to Rhizobium spp. strains. Moreover, metabolic superiority or rapid growth rate does not necessarily correlate with symbiotic effectiveness. The symbiotic performance of isolates varied with the host cultivar. The dry matter accumulation could be correlated with the total acetylene reduction activities rather than nodule number or nodule fresh weight per plant. Received: 3 March 1993  相似文献

Chickpea [Cicer arietinum (L.)] and pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] were grown outside in large clay pots from 1992 to 1995 in Edmond, Oklahoma. Plants were studied to evaluate nodulation, nitrogenase activity, and shoot dry weight (DW) of ‘ICCV-2’ and ‘Sarah’ chickpea inoculated with multistrain, TAL 1148, and TAL 480 Bradyrhizobium, as well as ‘Georgia-1’ and ‘ICPL-87’, pigeon pea inoculated with multistrain TAL 1127, and TAL 1132 Bradyrhizobium. Following wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Thell.] harvests in the spring, legumes were planted in the summer and harvested at three successive dates during the following months. Leaves and stems from remaining plants were incorporated into the soil after the last harvest. Across year, chickpea measurements were sensitive to temperature and precipitation whereas pigeon pea measurements were sensitive to length of growing season as well as climate. Pigeon pea consistently demonstrated higher nitrogen-fixing capacity and shoot DW compared with chickpea. Nodule and shoot DW of both species increased with plant age whereas nodule count and nitrogenase activity generally increased with plant age and leveled off or decreased at flowering. Sarah chickpea demonstrated higher nodule count and nodule DW than ICCV-2, as did the Georgia-1 pigeon pea compared with ICPL-87. Shoot DW of Georgia-1 pigeon pea was generally higher than that of ICPL-87. Multistrain inoculum improved nodulation and shoot DW of chickpea, and TAL 1127 improved nodulation of pigeon pea compared with other treatments. These results indicate that specific chickpea and pigeon pea cultivars, along with appropriate Bradyrhizobium strains, may improve nitrogen fixation and DW of these species.  相似文献

Production of common bean(Phaseolus vulgaris)is limited by the occurrence of damping off(rhizoctoniosis),which is caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani.However,the co-inoculation of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria(PGPR)involved in biological control along with diatomic nitrogen(N2)-fixing rhizobia can enhance N nutrition and increase production.In this context,finding microorganisms with synergistic effects that perform these two roles is of fundamental importance to ensure adequate yield levels.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of co-inoculation of nodule endophytic strains of the genera Bacillus,Paenibacillus,Burkholderia,and Pseudomonas with Rhizobium tropici CIAT 899,an N2-fixing rhizobial strain,on the biocontrol of damping off and growth promotion in common bean plants.Greenhouse experiments were conducted under axenic conditions using the common bean cultivar Pérola.The first experiment evaluated the potential of the 14 rhizobacterial strains,which were inoculated alone or in combination with CIAT 899,for the control of R.solani.The second experiment evaluated the ability of these 14 rhizobacterial strains to promote plant growth with three manners of N supply:co-inoculation with CIAT 899 at low mineral N supply(5.25 mg N mL^-1),low mineral N supply(5.25 mg N mL^-1),and high mineral N supply(52.5 mg N mL^-1).The use of rhizobacteria combined with rhizobia contributed in a synergistic manner to the promotion of growth and the control of damping off in the common bean.Co-inoculation of the strains UFLA 02-281/03-18(Pseudomonas sp.),UFLA 02-286(Bacillus sp.),and UFLA 04-227(Burkholderia fungorum)together with CIAT 899 effectively controlled damping off.For the common bean,mineral N supply can be replaced by the co-inoculation of CIAT 899 with plant growth-promoting strains UFLA 02-281/02-286/02-290/02-293.Nodule endophytes UFLA02-281/02-286 are promising for co-inoculation with CIAT 899 in the common bean,promoting synergy with rhizobial inoculation and protection against disease.  相似文献

The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize rhizobial strains from root nodules of cultivated legumes, i.e. chickpea, mungbean, pea and siratro. Preliminary characterization of these isolates was done on the basis of plant infectivity test, acetylene reduction assay, C-source utilization, phosphate solubilization, phytohormones and polysaccharide production. The plant infectivity test and acetylene reduction assay showed effective root nodule formation by all the isolates on their respective hosts, except for chickpea isolate Ca-18 that failed to infect its original host. All strains showed homology to a typical Rhizobium strain on the basis of growth pattern, C-source utilization and polysaccharide production. The strain Ca-18 was characterized by its phosphate solubilization and indole acetic acid (IAA) production. The genetic relationship of the six rhizobial strains was carried out by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) including a reference strain of Bradyrhizobium japonicum TAL-102. Analysis conducted with 60 primers discriminated between the strains of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium in two different clusters. One of the primers, OPB-5, yielded a unique RAPD pattern for the six strains and well discriminated the non-nodulating chickpea isolate Ca-18 from all the other nodulating rhizobial strains. Isolate Ca-18 showed the least homology of 15% and 18% with Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, respectively, and was probably not a (Brady)rhizobium strain. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for MN-S, TAL-102 and Ca-18 strains showed 97% homology between MN-S and TAL-102 strains, supporting the view that they were strains of B. japonicum species. The non-infective isolate Ca-18 was 67% different from the other two strains and probably was an Agrobacterium strain.  相似文献

Abstract

Responses to aluminum phosphate (Al-P) and superphosphate (Sup-P) application in terms of dry matter production by pigeon pea and soybean were compared under field conditions. The effect of aluminum on growth and symbiotic dinitrogen fixation was examined under hydroponic conditions. In a field experiment, Al-P application significantly increased whole plant dry weight and P amount in pigeon pea, whereas in soybean, Al-P application had no significant effect on the two parameters. The results indicate that P absorption ability from Al-P is higher in pigeon pea compared to soybean. With Al-P application, leaf and whole plant Al concentration in pigeon pea significantly increased unlike in soybean.

Under hydroponic conditions, 50 nig L?1 Al application increased the plant weight of pigeon pea while it decreased that of soybean. This treatment decreased the total nodule activity of soybean more appreciably than that of pigeon pea. Under the Al treatment conditions, whole plant P amount increased in pigeon pea, whereas it decreased in soybean, and the amount of Al increased more appreciably in pigeon pea, most of which was deposited in roots.

These results suggest that compared to soybean, pigeon pea displays a higher ability to absorb P from P compounds with a low solubility i.e. Al-P and that it is more tolerant to Al toxicity.  相似文献

The symbiotic efficiency of coastal sand dune rhizobial isolates on four cultivated legumes, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), green gram (Vigna radiata), black gram (Vigna mungo) and horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum), was assessed. Among the isolates of Someshwara (S1–S5), inoculation of S5 resulted in the highest increase of shoot biomass in cowpea (control vs experimental, 1:6), while inoculation of P1 among the Padubidri isolates (P1–P5) induced the highest shoot biomass in cowpea (1:14.4). Inoculation of the isolate P2 induced higher shoot biomass against uninoculated controls of horse gram (12.6:1), green gram (11.2:1) and black gram (6.1:1). One-way ANOVA revealed significant difference in the shoot biomass between uninoculated and inoculated cowpea plants with ten rhizobial isolates (P <0.05). Cultivation of surface-sterilized green gram seeds on unsterilized dune sand resulted in profuse flowering as well as nodules within 6 weeks indicating possibilities for isolating efficient rhizobial strains through cultivating edible legumes on coastal sand dune soils.  相似文献

It is well known that nitrogen fixation is mainly dependent upon the combination between rhizobial strain and host plant species, though it is also affected by the environmental condition. The site of association between the host and rhizobia is the root nodule. It is, therefore, quite natural that special attention has hitherto been focused on it. A typical symbiotic relationship is going on in effective nodule, while a parasitic relationship prevails in ineffective one. Between such types of nodules there must be some differences with respect to the inner structure as well as the metabolism in them. Experiments were made to compare the morphological change of rhizobia, the amount and distribution of starch, the kinds of free amino acids in effective nodule with those in ineffective one. To obtain materials, soybean, pea, red clover, and genge (Astragalus sinicus L.) Were used with their own effective and ineffective strains of rhizobia, respectively.  相似文献

Seed inoculation is frequently essential for annual Medicago establishment in Mediterranean dryland farming systems. As post-planting soil inoculation is often practiced when seed inoculation fails, the effect of delayed inoculation was investigated. Roots of Medicago rigidula (L.). All selection 716, and Medicago rotata Boiss. selection 2132, were initially pre-exposed to Rhizobium meliloti strains. Subsequently, roots were exposed to a secondary inoculum after 6, 48 and 168 h to simulate delayed inoculation. and subsequent establishment of others strains in the nodules were investigated. Combinations of highly effective and host compatible ICARDA strains (M15 and M53) and effective-ineffective strains (M15 and M28) were used to evaluate proportional nodulation responses. Plants were harvested after 6 weeks of growth. Nodules were assessed for distribution in the root system and for occupancy based on their differential resistance to kanamycin and streptomycin, and, in the case of ICARDA M28, on nodule characteristics. The strain ICARDA M15 was a better competitor than ICARDA M53 when applied in equal density in M. rotata, at zero time. While forming nodules with M. rigidula, ICARDA M53 was equally competitive under the same conditions. With ICARDA M15 as the primary inoculum, and ICARDA M53 delayed for 6, 48 and 168 h, the incidence of ICARDA M15 nodules increased on M. rigidula from 43% (at zero time) to 86, 94, and 97% and, on M. rotata, from 78% (at zero time) to 88%, 95%, and 98% for the three time delays, respectively. Pre-exposure of 2-day old M. rigidula seedlings to the ineffective strain ICARDA M28 as the primary inoculant was followed by significant nodule number increases (P 0.01) as compared with ICARDA M15. Nonetheless, when ICARDA M15 was the primary inoculum, M28 was able to produce about 35% of the nodules when applied at the 6 and 48 h time delays. However, with ICARDA M28 as the primary inoculum, followed by ICARDA M15, nodule occupancy of ICARDA M28 in M. rigidula increased from 40 (at zero time) to 75%, 80%, and 95% for the three time delays, respectively. The percentage of total nodulation by M28, applied at the three delay times, was markedly lower (10%, 5% and 1%, respectively) when M. rotata was pre-exposed to ICARDA M15. This suggested a host preference for ICARDA M15, even if applied as a late inoculum. Results indicate that the early events in the nodulation process of annual medics coupled with host-specificity factors are perhaps the most critical for competition among R. meliloti strains for nodule formation.  相似文献

The effect of dual inoculation on three local cultivars (Miss Kelly, Portland Red, Round Red) of red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) with four strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli and three species of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi was examined in a clay loam soil. Rhizobial strains B 17 and B 36, each paired with Glomus pallidum or G. aggregatum, were the most effective pairings for cv. Miss Kelly. Inoculation of Miss Kelly with any of these pairings significantly (P=0.05) increased growth, number of nodules, nodule dry weight, mycorrhizal colonization, and shoot N and P content than other pairings. The growth response by cv. Portland Red was significantly improved by pairings of B 36 or B 17 with any of the three VAM fungi. For both cultivars (Miss Kelly and Portland Red), CIAT 652 or T 2 paired with VAM fungi did not give a positive growth response. In contrast, for cv Round Red the T 2 rhizobial strain in combination with any of the three VAM fungi showed a significant (P=0.05) growth improvement in all parameters. Our results suggest that while dual inoculation of VAM fungi and rhizobia significantly improves the growth response by red kidney beans, the best pairings of VAM fungus and rhizobia for each cultivar need to be carefully selected.  相似文献

Summary The competitive ability of inoculated and indigenous Rhizobium/Bradyrhizobium spp. to nodulate and fix N2 in grain legumes (Glycine max, Vigna unguiculata, Phaseolus vulgaris) and fodder legumes (Vicia sativa, Medicago sativa, and Trifolium subterraneum) was studied in pots with two local soils collected from two different fields on the basis of cropping history. The native population was estimated by a most-probable-number plant infectivity test in growth pouches and culture tubes. The indigenous rhizobial/bradyrhizobial population ranged from 3 to 2×104 and 0 to 4.4×103 cells g-1 in the two soils (the first with, the second without a history of legume cropping). Inoculated G. max, P. vulgaris, and T. subterraneum plants had significantly more nodules with a greater nodule mass than uninoculated plants, but N2 fixation was increased only in G. max and P. vulgaris. A significant response to inoculation was observed in the grain legume P. vulgaris in the soil not previously used to grow legumes, even in the presence of higher indigenous population (>103 cells g-1 soil of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv phaseoli). No difference in yield was observed with the fodder legumes in response to inoculation, even with the indigenous Rhizobium sp. as low as <14 cells g-1 soil and although the number and weight of nodules were significantly increased by the inoculation in T. subterraneum. Overall recovery of the inoculated strains was 38–100%, as determined by a fluorescent antibody technique. In general, the inoculation increased N2 fixation only in 3 out of 12 legume species-soil combinations in the presence of an indigenous population of rhizobial/bradyrhizobial strains.  相似文献

生物质炭介导生防微生物抑制辣椒疫霉的作用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
生物质炭可有效防控土传病害,筛选并鉴定出生物质炭介导下的生防微生物,可为研究生物质炭防病机理和强化生物质炭防病效果提供理论依据。本研究首先进行秸秆生物质炭防控辣椒疫病盆栽试验,利用定量PCR和平板计数明确生物质炭在防控辣椒疫病时可富集的已知生防微生物,再通过选择性培养基初筛和定殖复筛筛选出生物质炭可富集的潜在生防微生物菌株,最后研究各菌株在土壤中对辣椒疫霉的抑制作用。结果表明,秸秆生物质炭使根际辣椒疫霉数量显著降低95.1%、辣椒疫病发生率显著降低91.1%,并使具有生防功能的木霉菌、青霉菌、曲霉菌、芽孢杆菌、假单胞菌和鞘氨醇单胞菌数量显著增加2.22倍、4.09倍、3.89倍、2.45倍、1.45倍和1.30倍。通过平板初筛得到可能被生物质炭富集的22株潜在生防菌株。定殖复筛剔除部分假性生物质炭介导菌株,获得可明确被生物质炭富集的2株木霉菌、3株青霉菌、2株曲霉菌、3株芽孢杆菌、3株假单胞菌、3株链霉菌和2株鞘氨醇单胞菌。木霉菌（TR1和TR3）、青霉菌（PE1）、曲霉菌（AS1和AS2）、芽孢杆菌（BA1、BA2和BA3）、假单胞菌（PS1和PS3）、链霉菌（ST1、ST4和ST5）13个菌株可显著削减土壤辣椒疫霉数量。其中,所有木霉菌和曲霉菌菌株（TR1、TR3、AS1和AS2）及芽孢杆菌（BA1和BA2）、假单胞菌（PS1和PS3）和链霉菌（ST1）9个菌株与生物质炭具有显著的协同抑制辣椒疫霉效果。因此,防控辣椒疫病时,木霉菌、曲霉菌、芽孢杆菌、假单胞菌和链霉菌是生物质炭介导下的主要防病微生物。  相似文献

Repetitive DNA peR fingerprinting of bacterial genomic DNA is a useful tool for typing and differentiation of rhizobial strains. The method was reported to be suitable for strain differentiation of Rhizobia present in individual root nodules of some leguminous plants without the need for isolation and cultivation of the strains, in which rhizobial genomic DNA was extracted directly from each fresh or frozen nodule. We developed a new protocol of rhizobial genomic DNA extraction/purification from dried nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris for generating repetitive DNA peR fingerprints of Rhizobia present in the nodules. The simplified protocol consists of only three major steps, heat extraction of genomic DNA from rhizobial cells prepared from dried nodules, ethanol precipitation of the DNA and Sephadex G-50 column purification of the DNA, and generated fingerprints with good quality for differentiation of Rhizobia strains. The protocol will be useful to examine the nodule occupancy of inoculated rhizobial strains in field experiments.  相似文献

Rotation of nitrogen-fixing woody legumes with maize has been widely promoted to reduce the loss of soil organic matter and decline in soil biological fertility in maize cropping systems in Africa. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of maize-fallow rotations with pure stands, two-species legume mixtures and mixed vegetation fallows on the richness and abundance of soil macrofauna and mineral nitrogen (N) dynamics. Pure stands of sesbania (Sesbania sesban), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), tephrosia (Tephrosia vogelii), 1:1 mixtures of sesbania + pigeon pea and sesbania + tephrosia, and a mixed vegetation fallow were compared with a continuously cropped monoculture maize receiving the recommended fertilizer rate, which was used as the control. The legume mixtures did not differ from the respective pure stands in leaf, litter and recycled biomass, soil Ca, Mg and K. Sesbania + pigeon pea mixtures consistently increased richness in soil macrofauna, and abundance of earthworms and millipedes compared with the maize monoculture (control). The nitrate-N, ammonium-N and total mineral N concentration of the till layer soil (upper 20 cm) of pure stands and mixed-species legume plots were comparable with the control plots. Sesbania + pigeon pea mixtures also gave higher maize grain yield compared with the pure stands of legume species and mixed vegetation fallows. It is concluded that maize-legume rotations increase soil macrofaunal richness and abundance compared with continuously cropped maize, and that further research is needed to better understand the interaction effect of macrofauna and mixtures of organic resources from legumes on soil microbial communities and nutrient fluxes in such agro-ecosystems.  相似文献

The effect of iron (Fe) on ureide metabolism was examined in 45‐day‐old pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) (ureide plant) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) (amide plant). Plants were either inoculated with Rhizobium or fertilized with ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). The ureides, allantoin and allantoate, and allanotinase activity were increased in pigeon pea with Fe supplementation. Specific effect of Fe on ureide metabolism of pigeon pea was indicated by the lack of same effect in alfalfa under similar conditions. Nitrogenase activity was elevated with increasing concentrations of Fe in pigeon pea (ureide) as well as alfalfa (amide) symbiosis. Nitrogen (N2) fixation, ureides, and allantoinase activity were reduced at 10 ppm and above concentration of Fe.  相似文献

Cropping in low fertility soils, especially those poor in N, contributes greatly to the low common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield, and therefore the benefits of biological nitrogen fixation must be intensively explored to increase yields at a low cost. Six field experiments were performed in oxisols of Paraná State, southern Brazil, with a high population of indigenous common bean rhizobia, estimated at a minimum of 103 cells g–1 soil. Despite the high population, inoculation allowed an increase in rhizobial population and in nodule occupancy, and further increases were obtained with reinoculation in the following seasons. Thus, considering the treatments inoculated with the most effective strains (H 12, H 20, PRF 81 and CIAT 899), nodule occupancy increased from an average of 28% in the first experiment to 56% after four inoculation procedures. The establishment of the selected strains increased nodulation, N2 fixation rates (evaluated by total N and N-ureide) and on average for the six experiments the strains H 12 and H 20 showed increases of 437 and 465 kg ha–1, respectively,in relation to the indigenous rhizobial population. A synergistic effect between low levels of N fertilizer and inoculation with superior strains was also observed, resulting in yield increases in two other experiments. The soil rhizobial population decreased 1 year after the last cropping, but remained high in the plots that had been inoculated. DGGE analysis of soil extracts showed that the massive inoculation apparently did not affect the composition of the bacterial community.  相似文献

The improvement of common bean production requires the selection of effective rhizobia strains and Phaseolus vulgaris genotypes adapted to available soil phosphorus limitations. The interactions between bean genotypes and rhizobia were studied in hydroponic culture using six genotypes and four strains, CIAT899 as reference and three strains isolated from nodule of farmer's fields in the Marrakech region. The phosphorus (P) sub-deficiency caused a significant reduction on shoot biomass in some bean genotype-rhizobia combinations. Nodule biomass is significantly more reduced under P limitation for several combinations tested. Bean plants inoculated with these local rhizobial strains showed higher nodulation and an increase of nodules phytase and phosphatase activities under phosphorus sub-deficiency especially for RhM11 strain. It was concluded that the studied bean-rhizobia symbiosis differ in their adaptation to phosphorus sub-deficiency and the nodule phosphatases and phytases activities may constitute a strategy of nodulated bean plants to adapt their nitrogen fixation to P deficiency.  相似文献

 Bacterization of chick pea seeds with a siderophore-producing fluorescent Pseudomonas strain RBT13 and an antibiotic-producing Bacillus subtilis strain AF1, isolated from tomato rhizoplane and pigeon pea rhizosphere repectively, increased the shoot height, root length, fresh weight, dry weight and yield in soils infected with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris. Seed bacterization also resulted in a significant reduction in chick pea wilt caused by the same pathogen. Addition of iron to the soil completely eliminated disease suppression by RBT13 but not by AF1. Dual drug-resistant mutant strains derived from the rhizobacteria were used to monitor and confirm root colonization. The results indicate the potential for development of both strains for the biological control of chick pea wilt. Received: 29 April 1998  相似文献

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) nodulation variants of two cultivars ICC 4948 and ICC 5003 were used as trap plants to isolate 385 native rhizobia from CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar farm soil. After authentication and considering growth characteristics, selected 110 rhizobia revealed immense molecular diversity using the profiles of DNA fragments generated by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with enterobacterial repetitive intergeneric consensus (ERIC) sequences. Low nodulating variants of cvs ICC 4948 and ICC 5003 were able to trap more numbers of rhizobial genotypes, namely seven as compared four to five by high nodulating variants of these cultivars. Overall eight rhizobial genotypes were trapped by the chickpea cultivars. Rhizobial isolates from same nodule or same plants were present in the same or different clusters and few isolates showed 100% similarity also. Based on nodules from a plant, nodulation variant or cultivar, rhizobia could not be differentiated and no exclusive cluster was formed by either rhizobial isolates from low or high nodulating variants of both the cultivars. Two most efficient rhizobial isolates LN 707b and LN 7007 were characterized by amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. Rhizobial isolate LN 707b showed more than 98% similarity with Mesorhizobium sp SH 2851 and Mesorhizobium mediterraneum. Another isolate LN 7007 showed more than 99% similarity with the sequence of 16S r RNA gene of Mesorhizobium sp STM 398, and M. mediterraneum. So the chickpea rhizobia from Northern Indian subcontinent are proposed to be kept under M. mediterraneum strain LN707b and LN 7007.  相似文献

Summary There were significant differences among pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp] Rhizobium sp. strains (IC 3506, IC 3484, IC 3195, and IC 3087) in their ability to nodulate and fix N2 under saline conditions. Pigeonpea plants inoculated with IC 3087 and IC 3506 were less affected in growth by salinity levels of 6 and 8 dS m-1 than plants inoculated with the other strains. For IC 3506, IC 3484, and IC 3195, there was a decrease in the number of nodules with increasing salinity, while the average nodule dry weight and the specific nitrogenase activity remained unaffected. However, in IC 3087, the number of nodules increased slightly with increasing salinity. Leaf-P concentrations increased with salinity in the inoculated plants irrespective of the Rhizobium sp. strain, and leaf-N concentrations decreased with increasing salinity in IC 3484 and IC 3195 only. Shoot-Na and-Cl levels were further increased in these salt-sensitive strains only at 8 dS m-1. Therefore there may be scope for selecting pigeonpea Rhizobium sp. symbioses better adapted to saline conditions. The Rhizobium sp. strains best able to form effective symbioses at high salinity levels are not necessarily derived from saline soils.Submitted as JA No. 919 by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)  相似文献
