Halo-tolerant, auxin producing bacteria could be used to induce salt tolerance in plants. A number of Rhizobium and auxin producing rhizobacterial strains were assessed for their ability to tolerate salt stress by conducting osmoadaptation assay. The selected strains were further screened for their ability to induce osmotic stress tolerance in mung bean seedlings under salt-stressed axenic cond...

We studied the production of xyloglucanase enzymes of leguminous roots in the presence of Rhizobium and arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The AM fungus Glomus mosseae and Sinorhizobium meliloti GR4 for alfalfa, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae Rlv 13 for pea, R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii 2152 for clover, R. tropici CIAT 899 for bean and Mesorrhizobium mediterraneum USDA 3392 for chickpea. Th...

Rhizobium sp. LMB-1, newly isolated from greenhouse soil, can effectively degrade phthalate. Here, we present a 5.2-Mb assembly of this Rhizobium sp. genome for the first time. It may provide abundant molecular information for the transformation of phthalates.

Desmanthus paspalaceus (Lindm.) Burkart belongs to the D. virgatus complex, subfamily Mimosoidae. The known potential as livestock fodder of several of these legumes prompted us to undertake a phenotypic, molecular, and symbiotic characterization of the D. paspalaceus symbionts in the Santa Fe province, Argentina. The rhizobia collected--containing isolates with different abiotic-stress toleran...

the low pO 2 treatment in both species. Immunogold labelling showed that the MAC265 antigen was localThe pasture legumes Lotus uliginosus (Schk.) and ized primarily within intercellular spaces within nodule Lotus corniculatus (L.), known to differ in their tolercortices from both Lotus species. A marked decrease ance to flooding, were inoculated with Rhizobium loti in deposition of the MAC265 a...
