in this study, the ability of 32 rhizobium strains (26 strain of sinorhizobium meliloti (sm)), 4 strains of rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli (rlp) and 2 salt tolerance strains of rhizobium leguminosarum  biovar viciae (rlv) for use of acc as individual nitrogen source in rmm media was evaluated. based on the results, 25 strains were found positive for acc-deaminse, and strains according ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve plant growth and may be useful in maintaining even restoring soil. However, data on the latter function are sparse only indirect, which is especially true for conventional management conditions with adequate nutrient availability. Our study focused utilizing prevalent AMF species, Funneliformis mosseae, to enhance Glycine max production, while also exp...

in order to study the effects of seed-bacterial priming (inoculation) on germination and early growth of alfalfa under salinity stress conditions, an experiment was conducted at seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran in karaj (iran) in 2011. the experiment was arranged as a factorial in completely randomized design (crd) with three replications. ...

The utilization of gels, which are used for fluid drilling of seeds, as carriers of Bradyrhizobium japonicum for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) inoculation was studied. Gels of various chemical composition (magnesium silicate, potassium acrylate-acrylamide, grafted starch, and hydroxyethyl cellulose) were used, although the hydroxyethyl cellulose gels were more extensively investigated. Gel i...

In addition to forming symbiotic nodules on legumes, rhizobial strains are members of soil or rhizosphere communities or occur as endophytes, e.g., in rice. Two rhizobial strains which have been isolated from root nodules of the aquatic legumes Aeschynomene fluminensis (IRBG271) and Sesbania aculeata (IRBG74) were previously found to promote rice growth. In addition to analyzing their phylogene...

Highly purified soybean lectin (SBL) was labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-SBL) or tritium ((3)H-SBL) and repurified by affinity chromatography. FITC-SBL was found to bind to living cells of 15 of the 22 Rhizobium japonicum strains tested. The lectin did not bind to cells of the other seven R. japonicum strains, or to cells of any of the nine Rhizobium strains tested which do not no...
