On fields with no history of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production, inoculation alone is often inadequate to provide for adequate nodulation the first time this crop is grown. The objective of this study was to determine if inoculation of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seed with Bradyrhizobium japonicum would lead to an increase of B. japonicum numbers in the soil, and improve nodulation of a subsequent soybean crop. In the greenhouse, wheat seed inoculation increased B. japonicum numbers from undetectable numbers to >9000 g–1 of soil, whereas the numbers of introduced B. japonicum declined in unseeded pots. In the field, inoculation of wheat seed increased B. japonicum numbers in the soil from undetectable levels to >4000 g–1 the following year. When soybean seed was inoculated, but grown in soil devoid of B. japonicum, nodules formed only near the point of seed placement. The heaviest nodulation, and widest distribution of nodules in the topsoil were found whenB. japonicum was established the year before by wheat seed inoculation, plus soybean seed inoculation. Wheat seed inoculation the year before growing soybean, combined with proper soybean seed inoculation, should provide for abundant nodulation the first time soybean is grown on a field. 相似文献

In short-season soybean production areas, low soil temperature is the major factor limiting plant growth and yield. The decreases in soybean yield at low temperatures are mainly due to nitrogen limitation. Genistein, the most effective plant-to-bacterium signal in the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) nitrogen fixation symbiosis, was used to pretreat Bradyrhizobium japonicum. We have previously reported that this increased soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation in growth chamber studies. Two field experiments were conducted on two adjacent sites in 1994 to determine whether the incubation of B. japonicum with genistein, prior to application as an inoculant, or genistein, without B. japonicum, applied onto seeds in the furrow at the time of planting, increased soybean grain yield and protein yield in short season areas. The results of these experiments indicated that genistein-preincubated bradyrhizobia increased the grain yield and protein yield of AC Bravor, the later maturing of the two cultivars tested. Genistein without B. japonicum, applied onto seeds in the furrow at the time of planting also increased both grain and protein yield by stimulation of native soil B. japonicum. Interactions existed between genistein application and soybean cultivars, and indicated that the cultivar with the greatest yield potential responded more to genistein addition. 相似文献

Two strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, recognizable by their intrinsic resistance to high levels of antibiotics and their serological features were introduced into three calcareous soils under field conditions. These strains were re-isolated 16 or 20 years later and compared with the parental strains kept lyophilized. In the Dijon location, the survival was high although soybean was never grown in the field. But the B. japonicum completely disappeared in the Montpellier field after 10 years under vineyard. In the Toulouse field after the two initially introduced strains, inoculation of subsequent soybean crops with a new strain enabled this strain to occupy 70–80% of the nodules; these results suggest that under such conditions the problem of competition can be solved by repeated inoculation. In this field, the number of introduced B. japonicum remained high during 4 years without soybeans, but a new inoculation would be necessary after 5 years. In the two fields where the survival was high, the two strains remained at about the same relative level as at introduction, there was no detectable exchange of characters between them. With regards to agronomic characteristics, there were no important changes in the competitivity of the strains. Among the eight field isolates tested in a greenhouse for efficiency by comparison with eight lyophilized isolates, seven showed no significant difference for the total weight of soybean or seed yield but one field isolate showed a loss of efficiency corresponding to 27% less seed weight. This long-term experiment allowed us to conclude that the B. japonicumstrains used were stable for many characters, but variations in efficiency may rarely occur. 相似文献

Experiments were undertaken to determine the effect ofPseudomonas fluorescens on nodulation of soybean by two strains ofBradyrhizobium japonicum, USDA I-110 and 61A76.Pseudomonas fluorescens can enhance the nodulation ability ofB. japonicum. Preincubation ofB. japonicum withP. fluorescens before inoculation further increased the level of nodulation. 相似文献

A factorial design 23 × 4 with two levels of Mussorie rockphosphate (RP) with or without vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and four treatments of phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM) Pseudomonas striata, Bacillus polymyxa, Aspergillus awamori was employed using Patharchatta sandy loam soil (Typic Hapludoll). The observations included mycorrhization, nodulation, grain and straw yield, N and P uptake, available soil P and the PSM population in the soil after crop harvest. Inoculation with endophytes alone caused about 70% root colonization. Addition of rockphosphate or inoculation with PSM, except B. polymyxa, stimulated root infection of native as well as introduced VAM endophytes. Application of RP or inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum, mycorrhizal fungi or phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms significantly increased nodulation, N uptake, available soil P and the PSM population in the soil after the crop harvest. The grain and straw yields did not increase following RP addition or mycorrhizal inoculation but increased significantly after inoculation wit Bradyrhizobium or PSM. In general, the application of RP, Bradyrhizobium, VAM and PSM in combinations of any two or three resulted in significant increases in nodulation, plant growth, grain yield and uptake of N and P. Among the four factor interactions, rockphosphate, Bradyrhizobium and P. striata in the absence of VAM resulted in maximal nodulation, grain and straw yields and N uptake by soybean. The highest P uptake by soybean grain was recorded with Bradyrhizobium and A. awamori in the absence of rockphosphate and VAM. Generally, available soil P and PSM population after crop harvest were not significantly increased by the treatment combinations giving the maximal uptake of nutrients. However, they increased significantly in response to PSM, which produced no significant increase in total uptake of nutrients.Research paper no. 7498 相似文献

The addition of xanthan to high water retention capacity peat (HWRC) inoculants did not show differences on the survival of
Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109. In low water retention capacity peats (LWRC) however, xanthan increased the survival of B.japonicum significantly. Xanthan showed the best effect at 0.1 g/l for B. japonicum, in contrast to Sinorhizobium fredii USDA205 where the concentrations evaluated (0–1.0 g/l) did not affected significantly its survival. Nevertheless, when the
symbiotic performance on soybean was evaluated, the presence of 0.1 g xanthan/l increased the nodule number for both strains. 相似文献

Genistein is the major root produced isoflavonoid inducer of nod genes in the symbiosis between B. japonicum and soybean plants. Reduction in the isoflavonoid content of the host plants has recently been suggested as a possible explanation
for the inhibition of mineral nitrogen (N) on the establishment of the symbiosis. In order to determine whether genistein
addition could overcome this inhibition, we incubated B. japonicum cells (strain 532C) with genistein. Mineral N (in the form of NH4NO3) was applied at 0, 20 and 100 kg ha-1. The experiments were conducted on both a sandy-loam soil and a clay-loam soil. Preincubation of B. japonicum cells with genistein increased soybean nodule number and nodule weight, especially in the low-N-containing sandy-loam soil
and the low N fertilizer treatment. Plant growth and yield were less affected by genistein preincubation treatments than nitrogen
assimilation. Total plant nitrogen content was increased by the two genistein preincubation treatments at the early flowering
stage. At maturity, shoot and total plant nitrogen contents were increased by the 40 μM genistein preincubation treatment
at the sandy-loam soil site. Total nitrogen contents were increased by the 20 μM genistein preincubation treatment only at
the 0 and 20 kg ha-1 nitrate levels in clay-loam soil. Forty μM genistein preincubation treatment increased soybean yield on the sandy-loam soil.
There was no difference among treatments for 100-seed weight. The results suggest that preincubation of B. japonicum cells with genistein could improve soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation, and at least partially overcome the inhibition
of mineral nitrogen on soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation.

The effect of rice culture on changes in the number of a strain of soybean root-nodule bacteria, (Bradyrhizobium japonicum CB1809), already established in the soil by growing inoculated soybean crops, was investigated in transitional red-brown earth soils at two sites in south-western New South Wales. At the first site, 5.5 years elapsed between the harvest of the last of four successive crops of soybean and the sowing of the next. In this period three crops of rice and one crop of triticale were sown and in the intervals between these crops, and after the crop of triticale, the land was fallowed. Before sowing the first rice crop, the number of Bradyrhizobium japonicum was 1.32×105 g–1 soil. The respective numbers of bradyrhizobia after the first, second and third rice crops were 4.52 ×104, 1.26×104 and 6.40×102 g–1 soil. In the following two years the population remained constant. Thus sufficient bradyrhizobia survived in soil to nodulate and allow N2-fixation by the succeeding soybean crop. At the second site, numbers of bradyrhizobia declined during a rice crop, but the decline was less than when the soil was fallowed (400-fold cf. 2200-fold). Multiplication of bradyrhizobia was rapid in the rhizosphere of soybean seedlings sown without inoculation in the rice bays. At 16 days after sowing, their numbers were not significantly different (p<0.05) from those in plots where rice had not been sown. Nodulation of soybeans was greatest in plots where rice had not been grown, but yield and grain nitrogen were not significantly different (p<0.05). Our results indicate that flooding soil has a deleterious effect on the survival of bradyrhizobia but, under the conditions of the experiments, sufficient B. japonicum strain CB 1809 survived to provide good nodulation after three crops of rice covering a total period of 5.5 years between crops of soybean. 相似文献

Microevolution and origins of Bradyrhizobium populations associated with soybeans at two field sites (A and B, 280 km apart in Canada) with contrasting histories of inoculation was investigated using probabilistic analyses of six core (housekeeping) gene sequences. These analyses supported division of 220 isolates in five lineages corresponding either to B. japonicum groups 1 and 1a or to one of three novel lineages within the genus Bradyrhizobium. None of the isolates from site A and about 20% from site B (the only site with a recent inoculation history) were attributed to inoculation sources. The data suggest that most isolates were of indigenous origin based on sequence analysis of 148 isolates of soybean‐nodulating bacteria from native legumes (Amphicarpaea bracteata and Desmodium canadense). Isolates from D. canadense clustered with B. japonicum group 1, whereas those from A. bracteata were placed in two novel lineages encountered at soybean field sites. One of these novel lineages predominated at soybean sites and exhibited a significant clonal expansion likely reflecting selection by the plant host. Homologous recombination events detected in the 35 sequence types from soybean sites had an effect on genetic diversification that was approximately equal to mutation. Interlineage transfer of core genes was infrequent and mostly attributable to gyrB that had a history of frequent recombination. Symbiotic gene sequences (nodC and nifH) of isolates from soybean sites and native legumes clustered in two lineages corresponding to B. japonicum and B. elkani with the inheritance of these genes appearing predominantly by vertical transmission. The data suggest that soybean‐nodulating bacteria associated with native legumes represent a novel source of ecologically adapted bacteria for soybean inoculation. 相似文献

Summary Azospirillum was associated with nodules of soybean. In general, seed inoculation with a broth culture ofAzospirillum brasilense alone significantly increased nodulation and grain yield of soybean grown in pots in unsterilized soil with different levels of urea ranging from 0 to 80 kg N/ha. This trend was significantly reproducible in a second experiment when a carrier based inoculant of the bacterium was used for seed inoculation.Inoculation withRhizobium japonicum andA. brasilense in combination generally increased grain yield in both the experiments, although the data were not significant. 相似文献

Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonate, collectively known as jasmonates, are naturally occurring in plants; they are important signal molecules involved in induced disease resistance and mediate many physiological activities in plants. We studied the effect of JA and its methyl ester, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), on the induction of nod genes in Bradyrhizobium japonicum GG4 (USDA3) carrying a plasmid with a translational fusion between B. japonicum nodY and lacZ of Escherichia coli, and the expression activity was measured by β-galactosidase activity. Both JA and MeJA strongly induced the expression of nod genes. They have little or no deleterious effects on the growth of B. japonicum cells, while genistein (Gen) showed inhibitory effects. We further studied the effect of JA- and MeJA-induced B. japonicum on soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation under optimal (25°C) and suboptimal (17°C) root zone temperature (RZT) conditions. B. japonicum cells were grown in liquid yeast extract mannitol media and induced with a range of Gen, JA, and MeJA concentrations, including a treatment control with no inducer added. Soybean seedlings were grown at 25 or 17°C RZT with a constant air temperature (25°C) and inoculated, at the vegetative cotyledonary stage, with various B. japonicum induction treatments. Addition of Gen or jasmonates to B. japonicum, prior to inoculation, enhanced nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and plant growth at suboptimal RZT conditions. A higher concentration of Gen was inhibitory at 25°C, while this same concentration was stimulatory at 17°C. Interestingly, pre-incubation of B. japonicum with JA and MeJA enhanced soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation under both optimal and suboptimal RZTs. We show that jasmonates are thus a new class of signaling molecules in the B. japonicum-soybean symbiosis and that pre-induction of B. japonicum with jasmonates can be used to enhance soybean nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and early plant growth. 相似文献

It is a well accepted strategy to improve plant salt tolerance through inoculation with beneficial microorganisms. However, its underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. In the present study, hydroponic experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 with salt-tolerant Pseudomonas putida TSAU1 on growth, protein content, nitrogen, and phosphorus uptake as well as root system architecture of soybean (Glycine max L.) under salt stress. The results indicated that the combined inoculation with USDA 110 and TSAU1 significantly improved plant growth, nitrogen and phosphorus contents, and contents of soluble leaf proteins under salt stress compared to the inoculation with the symbiont alone or compared to un-inoculated ones. The root architectural traits, like root length, surface area, project area, and root volume; as well as nodulation traits were also significantly increased by co-inoculation with USDA 110 and TSAU1. The plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) P. putida strain TSAU1 could improve the symbiotic interaction between the salt-stressed soybean and B. japonicum USDA 110. In conclusion, inoculation with B. japonicum and salt-tolerant P. putida synergistically improved soybean salt tolerance through altering root system architecture facilitating nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition, and nodule formation. 相似文献

Factors affecting co-inoculation with antibiotic-producing bacteria to enhance rhizobial colonization and nodulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Co-inoculation with antibiotic-producing bacteria and rhizobia resistant to those antibiotics has been proposed as a means of promoting colonization and nodulation of legumes by root-nodule bacteria. A study was conducted to establish some of the factors affecting co-inoculation with antibiotic-producing strains of Bacillus and Streptomyces griseus. The stimulation of Rhizobium meliloti and yield and N uptake by alfalfa was enhanced with increasing inoculum size of Bacillus sp. S. griseus and chitin added to soil increased nodulation of soybeans by Bradyrhizobium japonicum and increased nodulation, yield, and number of pods on a second crop grown in the same soil. Bacillus sp. persisted in soil in sufficient numbers for at least 51 days to increase colonization of soybean roots by B. japonicum. The populations of S. griseus, Bacillus sp., and antibiotic-resistant isolates of R. meliloti and B. japonicum fell after their addition to seeds. Nevertheless, a benefical effect by the antibiotic-producing bacteria was evident on R. meliloti colonization of the rhizosphere, nodulation, and yield of alfalfa grown from seeds stored 94 days and on B. japonicum colonization, nodule number, yield, and seed weight of soybeans grown from seeds stored 90 days. Because non-antibiotic-producing derivatives of Bacillus sp. and S. griseus did not promote colonization or nodulation of alfalfa roots by R. meliloti, the benefit of this co-inoculation is a result of antibiotic formation. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that inoculation of soybean (Glycine max Merr.) with a Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain (USDA110) with greater N2 fixation rates would enhance soybean response to elevated [CO2]. In field experiments at the Soybean Free Air CO2 Enrichment facility, inoculation of soybean with USDA110 increased nodule occupancy from 5% in native soil to 54% in elevated [CO2] and 34% at ambient [CO2]. Despite this success, inoculation with USDA110 did not result in greater photosynthesis, growth or seed yield at ambient or elevated [CO2] in the field, presumably due to competition from native rhizobia. In a growth chamber experiment designed to study the effects of inoculation in the absence of competition, inoculation with USDA110 in sterilized soil resulted in nodule occupation of >90%, significantly greater 15N2 fixation, photosynthetic capacity, leaf N and total plant biomass compared with plants grown with native soil bacteria. However, there was no interaction of rhizobium fertilization with elevated [CO2]; inoculation with USDA110 was equally beneficial at ambient and elevated [CO2]. These results suggest that selected rhizobia could potentially stimulate soybean yield in soils with little or no history of prior soybean production, but that better quality rhizobia do not enhance soybean responses to elevated [CO2]. 相似文献

In the soybean-B. japonicum symbiosis, genistein has been identified as one of the major compounds in soybean seed and root exudates responsible for
inducing expression of the B. japonicum nodYABC operon. In this study, we have tested the possibility that genistein treatment prior to inoculation can increase the competitiveness
of the treated B. japonicum strain under both greenhouse and field conditions. Two mutants of the two B. japonicum strains each with a different antibiotic resistant marker were selected. They were tested with one or the other treated with
genistein. The results showed genistein treated mutants had higher levels of nodule occupancy than the untreated mutant or
parent strain under greenhouse conditions. Mutants from 532C had higher nodule occupancies than mutants from USDA110, especially
at 15 °C. In the more complex field environment, genistein treated mutants formed fewer nodules than the untreated mutants.
The contradictory results of strain competitiveness for greenhouse and field experiments are discussed.

The effect of inoculating soybean plants withBradyrhizobium japonicum andAzospirillum brasilense either solely or in mixture, and of using different N fertilizer levels was studied in pot experiments. The nodulation of
soybean grown in a sandy soil was enhanced by the inoculation while the highest nodule numbers and fresh mass, recorded at
a N-fertilizer dose of 20 kg N/hm2, decreased when the fertilizer quantity increased to 40 kg N/hm2. By contrast, the dry mass of above-ground parts and the N uptake was increased with increasing N fertilizer level. A similar
effect was observed for inoculation as compared with the uninoculated variant. Although the nodulating and non-nodulating
soybeans has nearly the same dry mass, the nodulating isoline accumulated more N than the non-nodulating. The percentage of
nitrogen derived from air (%, Ndfa) and estimated by isotope dilution (ID) or N difference method (DM) dropped with increasing
N level from 10 to 40 kg N/hm2. Dual inoculation resulted in a high per cent of fixed N2 (42.5%) at 10 kg N/hm2. Correlation between the ID and DM methods was found to be dependent on inoculation treatments. The amount of nitrogen utilized
by nodulating soybean (FUE %) was enhanced as a function of inoculation withB. japonicum. 相似文献

In areas with short growing seasons, poor early vegetative growth of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is often attributed to the restrictive effect of cool soil conditions on nodulation and N2-fixation by this subtropical grain legume. However, there are few studies regarding potential genetic variability of soybean and Bradyrhizobium japonicum genotypes for nodulation at cool root-zone temperatures (RZT). Experiments were conducted to (1) test for a threshold temperature for low RZT inhibition of soybean nodulation and (2) ascertain whether this threshold temperature response depends mainly on the micro- or macrosymbiont. In experiment 1 soybean seedlings (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Maple Arrow) were inoculated with 1 ml of a log phase culture of B. japonicum strain 532C, H8 or H15 (the latter two strains were isolated from cold soils of Hokkaido, northern Japan) and maintained at either 16, 17.5, 19 or 25°C RZT. In experiment 2 seedlings of cv. Maple Arrow and a cold-tolerant Evans isoline were combined with strain 532C and two Hokkaido strains (H5, H30) at both 19 and 25°C RZT. Results indicated that N2-fixation at 44 days after inoculation was substantially reduced (30–40%) by RZT as high as 19°C, due to development of less nodule mass and to a delay in the onset of N2-fixation and a small decrease in the number of nodules formed. However, the number of nodules formed was sharply reduced and the time required for the first appearance of nodules was significantly delayed below an RZT of 17.5°C. Differences between cultivars for nodulation and N accumulation were apparent at 25°C, but were abolished by growth at 19°C, indicating that, in spite of differences in growth potential between the cultivars under optimum RZT, both cultivars were equally limited by low RZT. Differences between B. japonicum strains were consistent across temperatures and were largely attributable to higher rates of specific nodule activity recorded for strain 532C, which seemed well adapted to low RZT. These results suggest that the host plant mediates the sensitivity of N2-fixation under low RZT and that inoculation with B. japonicum strains from cold environments is unlikely to enhance soybean N2-fixation under cool soil conditions. 相似文献

Three slow-growingBradyrhizobium japonicum (G3, USDA-110 and KUL-150) of diverse origins and two fast-growing strains ofRhizobium fredii (USDA-192 and USDA-193) were tested with a cropped soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivar, two cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), one mung-bean (Phaseolus radiata), one winged-bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) and one field bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties.TheR. fredii strains nodulated and fixed Nitrogen as effectively as the strains ofB. japonicum in a modern european soybean cultivar, namely Fiskeby V. The other western bred soybeans tested were not nodulated by theseR. fredii strains. All of the soybean rhizobia produced nodules in both cowpeas and in mung-bean; theR. fredii strains showed effective N2-fixation in the cowpeas, particularly USDA-193, yielding shoot dry weights greater than those from theB. japonicum. The symbiotic performance of theR. fredii strains with soybean and other legumes indicated that they should be placed in an intermediate group between the slow-growingB. japonicum and cowpearhizobium sp.The hydrogen uptake activites suggested a possible host effect on the expression of such genes in one out of theB. japonicum strains tested. Furthermore, the slow-growing rhizobia showed significantly higher nitrate-reduction than theR. fredii in the nodules. 相似文献

A study was conducted to determine whether colonization of legume roots and nodulation byRhizobium meliloti andBradyrhizobium japonicum could be enhanced by using inocula containing microorganisms that produce antibiotics suppressing soil or rhizosphere inhabitants
but not the root-nodule bacteria. An antibiotic-producing strain of Pseudomonas and one of Bacillus were isolated, and mutants
ofR. meliloti andB. japonicum sp. resistant to the antibiotics were used. The colonization of the alfalfa rhizosphere and nodulation byR. meliloti were enhanced by inoculation of soil withPseudomonas sp. in soil initially containing 2.7×105
R. meliloti per g. The colonization of soybean roots byB. japonicum was enhanced by inoculating soil with three cell densities ofBacillus sp., and nodulation was stimulated byBacillus sp. added at two cell densities. In some tests, the dry weights of soybeans and seed yield increased as a result of these
treatments, and co-inoculation with Bacillus also increased pod formation. Inoculation of seeds withBacillus sp. and the root-nodule bacterium enhanced nodulation of soybeans and alfalfa, but colonization byB. japonicum andR. meliloti was stimulated only during the early period of plant growth.
Studies were also conducted withStreptomyces griseus and isolates ofR. meliloti andB. japonicum resistant to products of the actinomycete. Nodulation of alfalfa byR. meliloti was little or not affected by the actinomycete alone; however, both nodulation and colonization were enhanced if the soil
was initially amended with chitin andS. griseus was also added. Chitin itself did not affectR. meliloti. Treatments of seeds with chitin orS. griseus alone did not enhance colonization of alfalfa roots byR. meliloti or soybean roots byB. japonicum, but the early colonization of the roots by both bacterial species was promoted if the seeds received both chitin andS. griseus; this treatment also increased nodulation and dry weights of alfalfa and soybeans and the N content of alfalfa. It is suggested
that co-inoculation of legumes with antibiotic-producing microorganisms and root-nodule bacteria resistant to those antibiotics
is a promising means of promoting nodulation and possibly nitrogen fixation. 相似文献

Controlled environment and field studies were conducted to determine relationships between various measurements of N2 fixation using soybeans and to use these measures to evaluate a number ofBradyrhizobium japonicum strains for effectiveness in N2 fixation in Thai soils.15N dilution measurements of N2 fixation showed levels of fixation ranging from 32 to 161 kg N ha−1 depending on bacterial strain, host cultivar and location. Midseason measures of N2 fixation were correlated with each other, but not related measures taken at maturity. Ranking ofB. japonicum strains based on performance under controlled conditions in N-free media were highly correlated with rankings based on soybean
seed yields and N2 fixation under field conditions. This study showed that inoculation of soybeans with effectiveB. japonicum strains can result in significant increases in yield and uptake of N through fixation. The most effective strains tested
for use in Thai conditions were those isolated from Thai soils; however, effective strains from other locations were also
of benefit. 相似文献
