  1. 1. Swedish red clover-associated Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii share high genetic similarity in the 16S gene but divergence in nod genes

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Tua Lilja; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; nitrogen fixation; sustainability; symbiosis; taxonomy;

    Abstract : Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii (Rlt) is a root-associated soil bacterium (rhizobia) capable of entering a symbiotic relationship with various species of clover (Trifolium sp.) and fix nitrogen within root nodules. READ MORE

  3. 2. Abundance of root nodules on common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris : a comparison between Swedish fields with and without a recent history of common bean cultivation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Christina Hultman; [2018]
    Keywords : sustainability; protein-source; legume-based food; nitrogen fixation; root nodules;

    Abstract : Legumes such as common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. are climate-smart protein sources which can be part of sustainable agriculture and eating habits to increase the resilience in our food system. READ MORE

  4. 3. Interactions between Rhizobium, antagonistic bacteria and fungal pathogens in faba bean

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Shirin Akhter; [2014]
    Keywords : Vicia faba; Beneficial plant bacteria; Fungal pathogens; Antagonism; Interactions;

    Abstract : Plant associated micro-organisms such as nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium, and plant growth- promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Pseudomonas spp. and Serratia spp. are well recognised for their vital role in soil fertility and plant health. Most cultivated soils contain large populations of such micro-organisms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of PCR primers for community studies of bacterial hydrogenases in environmental samples

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Ernest Ndobe Ndobe; [2013]
    Keywords : uptake hydrogenase; bacterial community; biological nitrogen fixation; symbiosis;

    Abstract : Soil microorganisms interact with plants in ways that affect nutrient availability, hormonal regulation and often lead to improved plant growth. In the N2-fixing root nodule symbiosis between legume plants and bacteria generally called rhizobia the plant gains access to atmospheric nitrogen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Förekomsten av rotknölsbildande bakterier för Brun böna (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) och Blå lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) i olika jordar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Christina Fröberg; [2013]
    Keywords : Rotknölsbildande bakterier; Brun böna Phaseolus vulgaris L. ; Blå lupin Lupinus angustifolius L. ; Försöksodling; Root nodule bacteria; Brown bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. ; Blue lupin Lupinus angustifolius L. ; Trial cultivation;

    Abstract : Kvävgas kan inte tas upp direkt av växter men genom biologisk kvävefixering kan vissa symbiosbildande bakterier omvandla kvävgas till ammonium. Med bakteriens hjälp kan en växt tillgodogöra sig ammonium och på så sätt bilda protein. READ MORE
