Symbiotic Characteristics and Rhizobium Requirements of a Leucaena leucocephala x Leucaena diversifolia Hybrid and Its Parental Genotypes.

[Symbiotic efficiency and genetic diversity of the rhizobia isolated from Leucaena leucocephala in Liangshan Prefecture].

OBJECTIVE We analyzed the symbiotic efficiency and genetic diversity of rhizobia isolated from Leucaena leucocephala in Liangshan Prefecture of SichuanProvince. METHODS We studied genetic diversity of these isolates with 16S rRNA RFLP, BOX-PCR and AFLP fingerprinting, and constructed phylogenetic tree based on the concatenated sequences of the four housekeeping genes 16S rRNA, recA, atpD and ...

The Effects of Nitrogen Fixing Tree (Leucaena leucocephala) and Mushroom (Pleurotus tuber-regium) on Spent Engine Oil Polluted Soil

Greenhouse experiment was conducted for four months using Leucaena leucocephala and Pleurotus tuber-regium to determine their bioremediation potentials. Leucaena leucocephala, Pleurotus tuber-regium and Leucaena leucocephala combined with Pleurotus tuber-regium were tested for their ability to improve nutrient (N, P, K, total organic carbon) and reduce heavy metals (Zn, Ni, Pb, Cu) of soil poll...

Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies on the Adsorption of Crystal Vio-let Dye Using Leucaena Leucocephala (Subabul)Seed Pods as an Adsorbent

Leucaena species valoration for biomass and paper production in 1 and 2 year harvest.

In order to identify faster-growing non-woody species usable for biomass and paper production, four Leucaena species (L.diversifolia, L. colinsii, L. salvadorensis and three varieties of L. leucocephala) were tested. All the Leucaena species showed a good soil and climatic adaptation to Spain Southwest except for L. salvadorensis. Studied Leucaena species showed biomass productivity ranges from...
