The large monophyletic genus Mimosa comprises approx. 500 species, most of which are native to the New World, with Central Brazil being main centre radiation. All Brazilian spp. so far examined nodulated by rhizobia in betaproteobacterial Burkholderia. Approximately 10 Mya, transoceanic dispersal resulted Indian subcontinent hosting up six endemic nodulation ability and rhizobial symbionts two these, M. hamata himalayana, both from north-west India, here examined, compared those pudica, an...
Nitrogen-fixing symbiosis is globally important in ecosystem functioning and agriculture, yet the evolutionary history of nodulation remains focus considerable debate. Recent evidence suggesting a single origin followed by massive parallel losses raises questions about why few lineages N
Nodules of Chamaecrista pumila growing in several locations India were sampled for anatomical studies and characterization their rhizobial microsymbionts. Regardless region origin, the nodules indeterminate with bacteroids contained within symbiosomes which surrounded by pectin. More than 150 strains isolated from alkaline soils Thar Desert (Rajasthan), wet-acidic Shillong (Meghalaya), trap experiments using four other states different agro-ecological regions. Molecular phylogenetic analysis...
Arid and semi-arid areas occupy an increasing fraction of the Earth's surface. Legume floras exist for most these areas, but there is little information as to whether plants nodulate fix nitrogen (N) in their native habitats, although many have been used over millennia food, forage medicinal other uses. This review shows that, those arid where data are available, ability legumes a significant attribute. It examines some host genera present and, known, bacteria that induce nodulation them....
Nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from hot arid areas in Asia, Africa and America but diverse leguminous plants have been recently identified as belonging to a possible new species of Ensifer (Sinorhizobium). In this study, 6 strains clade were compared with at the genome-wide level. Their capacities utilize various carbon sources establish symbiotic interaction several examined. Draft genomes selected Morocco (Merzouga desert), Mexico (Baja California) well India (Thar desert) produced....
Abstract More than 200 root-nodule bacterial strains were isolated from Leucaena leucocephala growing at 42 sampling sites across 12 states and three union territories of India. Genetic diversity was observed among 114 various climatic zones; based on recA, these identified as Ensifer, Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium. In multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) clustered into several novel clades lineages. Ensifer predominant nodulating genotype majority alkaline soils, while...
Abstract Ensifer sp. PC2 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a nitrogen-fixing nodule of the tree legume P. cineraria (L.) Druce (Khejri), which keystone species grows in arid and semi-arid regions Indian Thar desert. Strain exists as dominant saprophyte alkaline soils Western Rajasthan. It fast growing, well-adapted to conditions able form effective symbiosis with several annual crop legumes well mimosoid trees shrubs. Here we describe features...
