Frontiers | Diversity of common bean rhizobia in blackland of northeastern China and their symbiotic compatibility with two host varieties
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important crop in the world that forms root nodules with diverse rhizobia. Aiming to learning the rhizobial communities associated with common bean in the black soil of Northeast China, 79 rhizobia were isolated from root nodules of two host varieties (Cuican and Jiadouwang) grown in two sites of blackland, and were characterized by comparative sequence analyses of 16S rRNA, recA, atpD, nodC, nifH genes and whole genome. As results, Rhizobium indigoferae...
