In addition to a soluble response, many invertebrates control bacterial infections by means of phagocytosis or melanotic encapsulation. In some insects, Escherichia coli growth is reported to be inhibited by aggregation/encapsulation. Soluble and phagocytic responses to bacterial challenge have been reported in ticks, but evidence of an aggregation / encapsulation response was reported only for...

The tripartite symbiosis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) 147 with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed in sand culture by comparing the effects of three AMF species on the mycorrhizal root colonization, rhizobial nodulation, plant growth and phosphorus use efficiency for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Although Glomus intraradices well c...

The influence of a supplementary bradyrhizobial inoculation after an initial seed slurry inoculation with the same strain on nodulation and N(2) fixation in soybeans was examined in the greenhouse. The plants were grown in a Typic Eutrocrepts soil: sand mixture containing 25, 65, or 83 mg of N per kg (i.e., native soil N plus N-labeled ammonium sulfate). Harvests were made at early flowering an...

Interactions between above- and belowground herbivores have been prominent in the field of aboveground-belowground ecology from the outset, although little is known about how climate change affects these organisms when they share the same plant. Additionally, the interactive effects of multiple factors associated with climate change such as elevated temperature (eT) and elevated atmospheric car...

The soybean (Glycine max) genome contains 18 members of the 14-3-3 protein family, but little is known about their association with specific phenotypes. Here, we report that the Glyma0529080 Soybean G-box Factor 14-3-3c (SGF14c) and Glyma08g12220 (SGF14l) genes, encoding 14-3-3 proteins, appear to play essential roles in soybean nodulation. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain re...

In a split-root system of soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr), inoculation of one half-side suppressed subsequent development of nodules on the opposite side. At zero time, the first side of the split-root system of soybeans received Rhizobium japonicum strain USDA 138 as the primary inoculum. At selected time intervals, the second side was inoculated with the secondary inoculum, a mixture of R. jap...

Aim. To study the mutual relations between different soybean cultivars and two Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains after mixed inoculation, to evaluate impact of introduced microorganisms on local rhizobial communities in soil, formation functioning symbiotic systems, productivity soybean. Methods. Microbiological serological methods; field experiment, gas chromatography mathematical-statistical m...

In Ethiopia, acidity-related soil fertility problems are the main production constraints, reducing productivity of major crops grown in country. The experiment was carried out to determine influence Blended NPS fertilizer, Seed Inoculation with Rhizobium Bacteria and Vermicompost (VC) application on soybean nodulation yield soybean. Factorial combinations (uninoculated, inoculated), three VC le...

Rhizobium microbial bacteria functioning that living a symbiosis relationship soil and leguminous plant root fixation of nitrogen to be utilized by superior performance during grain development stage. They can enter into with plant, infecting their nodules. The legume crops are the bigger partner, often referred as macro-symbiotic. Usually certain strains form nodule on limited plants. Such col...
