The Common Nodulation Genes of Astragalus sinicus Rhizobia Are Conserved despite Chromosomal Diversity

Zhang, Xue-Xian, Turner, Sarah L., Guo, Xian-Wu, Yang, Hui-Jun, Debellé, Frédéric, Yang, Guo-Ping, ...

The nodulation genes of Mesorhizobium sp. (Astragalus sinicus) strain 7653R were cloned by functional complementation of Sinorhizobium meliloti nod mutants. The common nod genes, nodD, nodA, and...

Three Phylogenetic Groups of nodA and nifH Genes in Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium Isolates from Leguminous Trees Growing in Africa and Latin America

Haukka, Kaisa, Lindström, Kristina, Young, J. Peter W.

The diversity and phylogeny of nodA and nifH genes were studied by using 52 rhizobial isolates from Acacia senegal, Prosopis chilensis, and related leguminous trees growing in Africa and Latin...

Diversity of Sinorhizobium meliloti from the Central Asian Alfalfa Gene Center

Roumiantseva, Marina L., Andronov, Evgeny E., Sharypova, Larissa A., Dammann-Kalinowski, Tatjana, Keller, Mathias, Young, J. Peter W., ...

Sinorhizobium meliloti was isolated from nodules and soil from western Tajikistan, a center of diversity of the host plants (Medicago, Melilotus, and Trigonella species). There was evidence of...

Nonlegumes, Legumes, and Root Nodules Harbor Different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities

Scheublin, Tanja R., Ridgway, Karyn P., Young, J. Peter W.

Legumes are an important plant functional group since they can form a tripartite symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria and phosphorus-acquiring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)....

Proof that Burkholderia Strains Form Effective Symbioses with Legumes: a Study of Novel Mimosa-Nodulating Strains from South America

Chen, Wen-Ming, De Faria, Sergio M., Straliotto, Rosângela, Pitard, Rosa M., Simões-Araùjo, Jean L., Chou, Jui-Hsing, ...

Twenty Mimosa-nodulating bacterial strains from Brazil and Venezuela, together with eight reference Mimosa-nodulating rhizobial strains and two other β-rhizobial strains, were examined by amplified...

The genome of Rhizobium leguminosarum has recognizable core and accessory components

Young, J Peter W, Crossman, Lisa C, Johnston, Andrew WB, Thomson, Nicholas R, Ghazoui, Zara F, Hull, Katherine H, ...

The genome sequence of the α-proteobacterial N2-fixing symbiont of legumes, Rhizobium leguminosarum, is described, revealing a 'core' and an 'accessory' component.
