Nitrogen fixation in grasses - gluconacetobacter activates genes in sugarcane
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have been isolated from sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) and other grasses in an endophytic and beneficial interaction that promotes plant growth. In this interaction, bacteria colonize the intercellular spaces and vascular tissues of most plant organs without causing disease symptoms. The best characterized sugarcane endophytic diazotrophs are Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicu...
متن کاملNitrogen Fixation Associated with Sugarcane
Nitrogen fixation associated with sugarcane was monitored ushg acetylene reducti,on tests and bacteriological techniques. Soil cores and trash from cane fields showed acetylene reducing activity. This activity was usually low in association with sandy soils. Where high activity was detected in soil cores it correlat~d with the wet weight of roots in each core. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria resemblin...
متن کاملSugarcane responses to irrigation and nitrogen in subtropical Iran
Limited information is available on water and nitrogen (N) management of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in Khuzestan, southwestern Iran, where this crop is currently and extensively grown under heavy irrigation and N fertilization. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted from September 2000 to March 2002 at the Research Department of Karoon Agro-industry in Khuzestan to determine the ...
متن کاملNon-symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in the Rhizo- Spheres of Rice, Maize and Different Tropical Grasses
Nitrogenase activity estimated in the rhizospheres of rice, maize and different tropical grasses grown under controlled laboratory conditions was shown to depend upon plant species. High nitrogenase activity (2000-6000 nmoles CzH4 h-' g-' dry root) occurred in rice rhizosphere, this activity being only 10 times lower than that of symbi0ticsystems;inthe rhizosphere of many other grasses grown in...
متن کاملClustering of nitrogen fixation (nif) genes in Rhizobium meliloti.
A cloned 17.3-kilobase region of the Rhizobium meliloti genome with homology to the Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase structural genes was studied. Limits on the extent of homology were determined. Transposon mutagenesis of this region of the genome verified that it contained functional nif genes, Some transposon insertions resulted in a defective symbiotic phenotype, whereas others had no noti...
