Drought is one of the most important factors that limits N fixation, growth and yield of soybean. 2 The aim of this study was to determine the effects of water stress, starter N application and seed inoculation on yield and yield components of soybean (cv. Williams). The experiment was conducted in 2010 at the Islamshahr town that located in 12 km of South-west of Tehran, the capital of Iran. T...

In order to study of the effect of seed inoculation with PGPR on nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency of spring wheat in different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, an experimental was conducted at the Research Farm of Mohageh Ardabili University, Ardabil, Iran during 2012 year. The combination of nitrogen fertilizer in three levels (0, 40 and 80 kg N/ha as urea) and phosphorus f...

background and objectives: soybean is one of the plants that need large amounts of nitrogen for grain yield production. todays bio-fertilizers are considered as a best replacement for chemical nitrogen to increase soil fertility and sustained agricultural production. meanwhile, the use of soybean symbiotic bacteria and nitroxin, which contain the most effective nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the g...

to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

Three cDNAs (ext3, ext127, and ext26), originally isolated by differential screening from a root-hair cDNA library of Vigna unguiculata, were found to encode extensin-like cell wall proteins. Transcripts homologous to these cDNAs were only detected in root hairs where mRNA levels decreased 1 day after inoculation with rhizobia. This coincided with the onset of root-hair deformation, the first m...

The response of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) to arbuscular micorrizal fungi (AM) species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Viciae, strain D293 regarding growth, nodulation and nitrogen fixing activity was studied. Pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) were grown in a glasshouse until flowering stage (35 days) in 4 kg plastic pots using leached cinnamonic for...

We report the genome sequence of a seed-borne bacterium, Pseudomonas putida strain S610. The size of the draft genome sequence is approximately 4.6 Mb, which is the smallest among all P. putida strains sequenced to date.

Two methods of soybean seeds inoculation by Rhizobium japonicum have been compared in a field experiment : i) traditional use of inoculated turf embedding the seeds; ii) use of Cephalobus parvus as bacterial carrier (3 O00 and 300 O00 nematodes per linear meter). There is no difference in yield between the inoculation methods in spite of a greater number of bacterial germs provided by nematode ...
