چکیده

Centrosema, Phytoalexins, Isoflavones, Tectorigenin, Aesculetin, Chemotaxonomy A phytoalexin isolated from the fungus-inoculated leaflets of Centrosema haitiense, C. pubescens (3 accessions) and C. virginianum has been identified as 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone (tectorigenin). This compound is variously accompanied by other isoflavones includ­ ing the previously described phytoalexin, cajanin (5,2',4'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavone). Sub­ stantial quantities of aesculetin were obtained when C. haitiense leaves were submerged for 48 h in water or fungal spore suspensions. The taxonomic position of Centrosema within the legume tribe Phaseoleae is discussed.

Genome Sequence of Bradyrhizobium viridifuturi Strain SEMIA 690T, a Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiont of Centrosema pubescens

SEMIA 690(T) is a nitrogen-fixing symbiont of Centrosema pubescens, and comprises the recently described species Bradyrhizobium viridifuturi. Its draft genome indicates that it belongs to the Bradyrhizobium elkanii superclade. SEMIA 690(T) carries two copies of the regulatory nodD gene, and the nod and nif operons resemble those of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens.
