Rhizobium tibeticum was originally isolated from root nodules of Trigonella archiducis-nicolai grown in Tibet, China. This species is also able to nodulate Medicago sativa and Phaseolus vulgaris The whole-genome sequence of the type strain, R. tibeticum CCBAU85039T, is reported in this study.

Trigonella foenum graecum (Fenugreek) was administered at 2 and 8 g/kg dose orally to normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. It produced a significant fall (P < 0.05) in blood glucose both in the normal as well as diabetic rats and the hypoglycemic effect was dose related.
