Sinorhizobium meliloti was isolated from nodules and soil from western Tajikistan, a center of diversity of the host plants (Medicago, Melilotus, and Trigonella species). There was evidence of recombination, but significant disequilibrium, between and within the chromosome and megaplasmids. The most frequent alleles matched those in the published genome sequence.

We report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. M1013, a strain isolated from the Medicago arborea rhizosphere in Izmir, Turkey. An average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis reveals that this strain belongs to the same species as Streptomyces canus ATCC12647 and is closely related to Streptomyces ambofaciens and Streptomyces coelicolor.

The aim of this study was to determine the nutritive value of some legume species in salt-affected soils of South-East Anatolian region using chemical composition and in vitro gas production kinetics. In this study, Lotus corniculatus, Trifolium alexandrinum, Medicago sativa were sown and tested in four different locations. A 3 by 4 factorial design with 3 legume species and 4 salt levels (non ...

to study the effect of planting dates and genistein application on nitrogen content and nodulation of three annual medic species (medicago polymorpha cv. santiago m. rigidula cv. ragidula, and m. radiata cv. radiata), an experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 in the research farm of faculty of agriculture, shahed university, tehran. the treatments were arranged as split split plot in a rando...

Extended comparison of gene sequences found on homeologous soybean Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes to Medicago truncatula and Arabidopsis thaliana genomic sequences demonstrated a network of synteny within conserved regions interrupted by gene addition and/or deletions. Consolidation of gene order among all 3 species provides a picture of ancestral gene order. The observation supports a genome...

New data on 10 adventive plant species are given. Two and one subspecies (Atriplex hortensis, Solanum nigrum subsp. schultesii, Nepeta cataria) new for the Republic of Buryatia. Five two interspecies hybrids (Arctium × mixtum, Galinsoga parviflora, Hesperis pycnotricha, Lactuca serriola, Medicago varia, Onobrychis viciifolia, Viola tricolor) recorded first time in Ulan-Ude city its neighborhood.
