Root cytokinins, acid phosphatase and nodule activity in drought-stressed mycorrhizal or nitrogen-fixing alfalfa plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this research was to study the root and nodule responses to drought of mycorrhizal or nitrogen-fixing alfalfa plants in relation to root cytokinin levels. Double symbiotic plants showed significantly higher root and nodule activities during drought that may be related to smaller decreases in cytokinin content of mycorrhizal plants.

Response of Alfalfa (medicago Sativa L) Growth at Low Accessible Phosphorus Source to the Dual Inoculation with Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria
The study evaluated the response of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) species Glomus intraradices and Sinorhizobium meliloti, strain 1021 regarding the dry biomass accumulation, mycorrhizal fungi colonization, nodulation and nitrogen fixation activity. Alfalfa plants were grown in a glasshouse until the flowering stage (58 days), in 4 kg plastic pots using leached...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of three identified isolates of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on growth, acid phosphatase enzyme activity and phenolic compounds (phenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin) of zinnia plants (Zinnia elegans L.var. Magellan Red) under water stress conditions. A factorial (two factors) experiment was planned based on a completely randomized design (C...
متن کاملMorphogenetic Rescue of Rhizobium meliloti Nodulation Mutants by trans-Zeatin Secretion.
The development of nitrogen-fixing nodules is induced on the roots of legume host plants by Rhizobium bacteria. We employed a novel strategy to probe the underlying mechanism of nodule morphogenesis in alfalfa roots using pTZS, a broad host range plasmid carrying a constitutive trans-zeatin secretion (tzs) gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens T37. This plasmid suppressed the Nod- phenotype of Rh...
متن کاملHormonal Control of Lateral Root and Nodule Development in Legumes
Many plants can establish symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, some of which lead to nodulation, including legumes. Indeed, in the rhizobium/legume symbiosis, new root organs, called nodules, are formed by the plant in order to host the rhizobia in protective conditions, optimized for nitrogen fixation. In this way, these plants can benefit from the reduction of atmospheric dinitrogen into ...
متن کاملInfection-related activation of the cg12 promoter is conserved between actinorhizal and legume-rhizobia root nodule symbiosis.
Two nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses between soil bacteria and higher plants have been described: the symbiosis between legume and rhizobia and actinorhizal symbioses between plants belonging to eight angiosperm families and the actinomycete Frankia. We have recently shown that the subtilisin-like Ser protease gene cg12 (isolated from the actinorhizal plant Casuarina glauca) is specificall...
