Snap bean fields in 12 of the 25 governorates of Egypt were surveyed to determine the distribution and taxonomy of snap bean-nodulating rhizobia. Nodulation rates in the field were very low, indicating that Egyptian soils do not have sufficient numbers of snap bean-compatible Rhizobium spp. A total
Medicago sativa L. is one of the most important perennial forage crops and has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years in China. A previously unreported sprout wilt disease of M. sativa, affecting as much as 25% of the seedlings, was observed in northwest China (Gansu Province) in March 2011.
The symbiosis between rhizobia and legumes is characterized by a complex molecular dialogue in which the bacterial NodD protein plays a major role due to its capacity to activate the expression of the nodulation genes in the presence of appropiate flavonoids. These genes are involved in the
