Long-term effects of crop management on Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae populations.
2004
Little is known about factors that affect the indigenous populations of rhizobia in soils. We compared the abundance, diversity and genetic structure of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae populations in soils under different crop managements, i.e., wheat and maize monocultures, crop rotation, and permanent grassland. Rhizobial populations were sampled from nodules of pea- or vetch plants grown in soils collected at three geographically distant sites in France, each site comprising a plot under long-term maize monoculture. Molecular characterization of isolates was performed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer as a neutral marker of the genomi…
Use of nodulation pattern, stress tolerance, nodC gene amplification, RAPD-PCR and RFLP-16S rDNA analysis to discriminate genotypes of Rhizobium legu…
2005
Twenty-seven new Rhizobium isolates were obtained from root nodules of wild and crop legumes belonging to the genera Vicia, Lathyrus and Pisum from different agroecological areas in central and southern Italy. A polyphasic approach including phenotypic and genotypic techniques was used to study their diversity and their relationships with other biovars and species of rhizobia. Analysis of symbiotic properties and stress tolerance tests revealed that wild isolates, showed a wide spectrum of nodulation and a marked variation in stress tolerance compared with reference strains tested in this study. All rhizobial isolates (except for the isolate CG4 from Galega officinalis) were presumptively i…
Compatibility of Rhizobial Genotypes within Natural Populations of Rhizobium leguminosarum Biovar viciae for Nodulation of Host Legumes
2003
ABSTRACT Populations of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae were sampled from two bulk soils, rhizosphere, and nodules of host legumes, fava bean ( Vicia faba ) and pea ( Pisum sativum ) grown in the same soils. Additional populations nodulating peas, fava beans, and vetches ( Vicia sativa ) grown in other soils and fava bean-nodulating strains from various geographic sites were also analyzed. The rhizobia were characterized by repetitive extragenomic palindromic-PCR fingerprinting and/or PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacers as markers of the genomic background and PCR-RFLP of a nodulation gene region, nodD , as a marker of the sy…
Symbiotic N2 fixation activity in relation to C economy of Pisum sativum L. as a function of plant phenology
2003
The relationships between symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) activity and C fluxes were investigated in pea plants (Pisum sativum L. cv. Baccara) using simultaneous 13 C and 15 N labelling. Analysis of the dynamics of labelled CO 2 efflux from the nodulated roots allowed the different components associated with SNF activity to be calculated, together with root and nodule synthetic and maintenance processes. The carbon costs for the synthesis of roots and nodules were similar and decreased with time. Carbon lost by turnover, associated with maintenance processes, decreased with time for nodules while it increased in the roots. Nodule turnover remained higher than root turnover until flowering…
Rhizobium leguminosarum imobilizācija uz organiskiem un neorganiskiem substrātiem
2015
Rhizobium leguminosarum ir slāpekli fiksējošas baktērijas, kas spēj veidot gumiņus uz tauriņziežu saknēm. Ar imobilizētu rizobiju preparātiem iespējams inokulēt baktērijas augsnē un uzlabot tauriņziežu augu produktivitāti. Izmantojot rizobiju inokulantus, iespējams aizvietot slāpekļa minerālmēslojumu. Pētīta substrāta un temperatūras ietekme uz imobilizētu R. leguminosarum dzīvotspēju, ilgstoši glabājot. Apskatīti 5 dažādi substrāti, baktēriju suspensija sterilā ūdenī un 4 dažādas glabāšanas temperatūras. Konstatēts, ka R. leguminosarum dzīvotspēju ietekmē gan substrāts, uz kura tās imobilizētas, gan glabāšanas temperatūra. Ilgstošai baktēriju dzīvotspējas saglabāšanai ieteicams kā substrāt…
Bradyrhizobium sp. nodulating the Mediterranean shrub Spanish broom (Spartium junceum L.)
2002
Aims: The molecular diversity of 25 strains of rhizobia, isolated in Sicily from root nodules of the Mediterranean shrubby legume Spanish broom (Spartium junceum L.), is presented in relation to the known rhizobial reference strains. Methods and Results: Our approach to the study of the S. junceum rhizobial diversity combined the information given by the 16S and the intergenic spacer (IGS) 16S–23S rDNA polymorphic region by obtaining them in a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) step. The PCR fragment size of the S. junceum isolates was 2400–2500 bp and that of the reference strains varied from 2400 in Bradyrhizobium strains to 2800 in Sinorhizobium strains. Inter- and intrageneric lengt…

Publication Inra prise en compte dans l'analyse bibliométrique des publications scientifiques mondiales sur les Fruits, les Légumes et la Pomme de terre. Période 2000-2012. http://prodinra.inra.fr/record/256699; International audience; The symbiotic relationships between legumes and their nitrogen (N-2)-fixing bacterial partners (rhizobia) vary in effectiveness to promote plant growth according to both bacterial and legume genotype. To assess the selective effect of host plant on its microsymbionts, the influence of the pea (Pisum sativum) genotype on the relative nodulation success of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv) genotypes from the soil populations during plant development h…
Importance de la variabilité génétique bactérienne sur le fonctionnement de la symbiose Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae avec le pois (Pisum sat…
2008
Les irrégularités de rendement et de teneur en protéine des graines que présente la culture du pois sont, en partie, liées à des problèmes de nutrition azotée. En tant que légumineuse, la nutrition azotée du pois repose à la fois sur la fixation symbiotique de l’azote atmosphérique et sur l’absorption racinaire des nitrates du sol. Notre principal objectif a été de déterminer si le partenaire bactérien, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv), peut être un facteur limitant de la nutrition azotée et du rendement du pois. La variabilité génétique des Rlv et les facteurs influençant la structure des populations de Rlv à l'état libre et symbiotiques ont été étudiés. La signification de la d…
Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae genotypes interact with pea plants in developmental responses of nodules roots and shoots
2007
International audience; The variability of the developmental responses of two contrasting cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum) was studied in relation to the genetic diversity of their nitrogen-fixing symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae. A sample of 42 strains of pea rhizobia was chosen to represent 17 genotypes predominating in indigenous rhizobial populations, the genotypes being defined by the combination of haplotypes characterized with rDNA intergenic spacer and nodD gene regions as markers. We found contrasting effects of the bacterial genotype, especially the nod gene type, on the development of nodules, roots and shoots. A bacterial nod gene type was identified that induced very…
