The use of atmospheric nitrogen-fixing rhizobia in symbiosis with legumes, and tolerant to a wide range of adverse conditions, such as drought, is a great potential in sustainable agriculture. The aim of this review is to compile studies about drought stress effect on the legume-rhizobia symbiosis and rhizobia mechanisms to induce drought tolerance in legumes. The search for information was conducted from August to December 2020, using key terms. The drought effect on the nodulation and atmospheric nitrogen fixation process is made known, as well as the rhizobia ability to synthesize exopolysaccharides, enzymes, phytohormones, siderophores, osmolytes and solubilize phosphates as induction mechanisms to mitigate drought stress in legumes. This review will serve to propose future research using rhizobia to mitigate the drought effect on the legumes cultivation in environments suc...

En tal sentido, las investigaciones se han orientado al estudio del rizobio como promotor del crecimiento de plantas leguminosas y no leguminosas, proceso conocido como capacidad PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria). El presente estudio se ejecutó con el objetivo de evaluar 19 cepas de Rhizobium leguminosarum y Rhizobium etli, considerando su capacidad promotora de crecimiento en cebada (Hordeum vulgare) y su potencial antagónico conAlternaria solani y Fusarium sp. La evaluación de la capacidad promotora se realizó en condiciones de invernadero y el potencial antagónico in vitro. El 89% de las cepas de Rhizobium evaluadas estimuló el crecimiento de las plantas de ceb...

Don en vivero en Vilcashuamán, Ayacucho, Perú. Tratamientos: (1) Micorrización con Scleroderma verrucosum, (2) Micorrización con Rhizopogon luteolus, (3) Mezcla de ambos hongos y (4) Control, en un diseño completamente al azar con 10 repeticiones por tratamiento. Los hongos provinieron de bosques de Pinus radiata y Eucalyptus globulus de la localidad. La inoculación se realizó en el repique a los 30 días de siembra y la evaluación a los 7.5 meses después del repique. Los pinos micorrizados superaron con diferencias significativas al control en todas las variables. En el diámetro del cuello y materia seca de la parte aérea de los inoculados no presentaron diferencias significativas; sin embargo, en altura, materia seca de la raíz y materia seca total destacó el tratamiento Mezcla.

Em experimentos de casa de vegetação, as quatro estirpes apresentaram igual eficiência na fixação do nitrogênio. Contudo, em experimento de mistura de pares de estirpes, a estirpe SEMIA 222 foi mais competitiva na formação de nódulos. Em meio levedura manitol sacarose, a taxa de crescimento foi maior para as estirpes SEMIA 222, T107 e T154 do que a estirpe SEMIA 235. O tempo de geração da estirpe 222 foi mais baixo, seguido da T107 e T154, e maior para a estirpe 235. Em inoculante com veículo de turfa esterilizada, avaliado até seis meses de armazenamento, as estirpes 222 e T154 apresentaram boa sobrevivência, enquanto em inoculante com a mistura das estirpes, a T15...

The 16S rRNA gene sequences were identical to that of R. leguminosarum USDA 2370T, whereas rpoB, recA and atpD gene sequences were phylogenetically distant, with sequence similarities of less than 96 %, 97 % and 94 %, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization analysis showed a mean relatedness value of 43 % between strain FB206T and R. leguminosarum USDA 2370T. Phenotypic characteristics of the novel strains also differed from those of the closest related species of the genus Rhizobium . Therefore, based on genotypic and phenotypic data obtained in this study, we propose to classify this group of strains nodulating Vicia faba as a novel species of the genus Rhizobium named Rhizobium laguerreae sp. nov. The type strain is FB206T ( = LMG 27434T = CECT 8280T).

The analysis of rrs, recA and atpD genes and 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer showed that the Spanish strains nodulating V. sativa are phylogenetically close to those isolated from V. sativa and V. faba in different European, American and Asian countries forming a group related to Rhizobium leguminosarum. The analysis of the nodC gene of strains nodulating V. sativa and V. faba in different continents showed they belong to a phylogenetically compact group indicating that these legumes are restrictive hosts. The results of the nodC gene analysis allow the delineation of the biovar viciae showing a common phylogenetic origin of V. sativa and V. faba endosymbionts in several continents. Since these two legume species are indigenous from Europe, our results suggest a world distribution of strains from R. leguminosarum together with the V. sativa and V. faba seeds and a close coevolution among chromosome, symbiotic genes and legume host in this Rhizobium-Vicia symbiosis.

The isolates, presenting 11 different RAPD profiles, were distributed in three groups on the basis of their 16S-RFLP patterns. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains from 16S-RFLP groups I, II and III were closely related (identities higher than 99.5%) to Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii DSM 30141 (=ATCC 14480), R. leguminosarum bv. viciae DSM 30132(T) and Rhizobium etli CFN42(T) (=USDA 9032(T)), respectively. The analysis of the 16S-23S intergenic spacer (ITS) and two housekeeping genes, atpD and recA, confirmed the identification of strains from group I, however those from groups II and III were phylogenetically divergent to strains DSM 30132(T) and CFN42(T). These results support the fact that the 16S rRNA gene is not adequate for identification at species level within genus Rhizobium and suggest the existence of putative new species within the phylogenetic group of R. leguminosarum. They also confirm the need of a taxonomic revision of R. leguminosarum since the reference strains of the three biovars included in this study are phylogenetically divergent according to their ITS, atpD and recA gene sequences.
