Biological nitrogen fixation by Phaseolus vulgaris

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean) is considered a promiscuous legume in its association with rhizobia since it can be nodulated by several species of the Rhizobiaceae family. In a field experiment in Oeiras (Portugal), strains were isolated from the root nodules of P. vulgaris 675. Each strain was inoculated in two P. vulgaris landraces: Pv 648 and Pv 675. Phylogeny of 16S rRNA, recA and nodC genes were inferred, using partial gene sequences. The results of plant inoculation assays have shown that only one of the isolated strains could successfully nodulate at least the P. vulgaris landrace (Pv 675), with an index of effectiveness of 31%. This strain was identified as belonging to Rhizobium sullae species by the 16S rRNA and recA genes but it also has a nodC gene from Rhizobium gallicum. The remaining strains were identified as belonging to R. gallicum, Agrobacterium tumefaciens and A. arsenijevicii.
