  1. 1. Need for seed re-inoculation in Swedish soybean cropping sequences

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Emelie Andersson; [2014]
    Keywords : soybean; inoculation; Sweden; bacterial cultures; nodules; nitrogen fixation; Bradyrhizobium japonicum;

    Abstract : Soybean is a tropical legume that is widely used world-wide as a food product. Its advantage is its ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere to produce a high amount of protein, making soybean suitable as food and animal feed. Sweden imports large quantities of soybean, since domestic production is far below the demand. READ MORE

  2. 2. Bacterial communities associated with roots of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) : diversity in relation to soil origin and effects on plant growth

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

    Author : Fang Chen; [2013]
    Keywords : lupin; Bradyrhizobium; symbiosis;

    Abstract : Bacteria play several important ecological functions in soil and in relation to plants. Legumes, such as the recently introduced grain legume narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.), develop N2-fixing root nodules in response to infection by soil bacteria generally called rhizobia but can also interact with other soil bacteria.

  3. 3. Nodulation of the N2-fixing legume narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) : soil inoculation methods, root nodule development and molecular identification of rhizobia

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

    Author : Martin Gregorc; [2011]
    Keywords : DNA sequence analysis; Bradyrhizobium ; symbiosis ; root nodule formation ; inoculation ; N2 fixation; lupin species;

    Abstract : The following paper is a study on the interaction between Lupinus angustifolius L. and N2-fixing nodulating bacteria in selected Swedish soils. Bacteria being able to induce N2-fixing symbiotic root nodules on legume plants are generally called rhizobia. READ MORE
