Chemotaxis of Cicer Rhizobium strains to root exudates of chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes and their interaction response on nodulation, nodulins, leghaemoglobin and grain yield in calcareous soil
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Two Rhizobium strains were studied for their chemotaxis, nodulation, nitrogenase activity and other endosymbiotic N2-fixing characteristics with two genotypes of Cicer arietinum. Root exudates were found to attract Rhizobium strains. Nodule-specific root proteins (nodulins) and leghaemoglobin were found to be host-range specific between two strains of Cicer Rhizobium. Physiologically active iron content was more important for nodule functioning than total iron concentration of nodules.
