Nodulation of Thermopsis lupinoides by a Mesorhizobium huakuii Strain with a UniquenodAGene in Kamtchatka, Russia

Abstract

ABSTRACTVery little is known about rhizobia that form nodules onThermopsisspp. We report the isolation of aMesorhizobium huakuiistrain with a uniquenodAgene that form nodules onThermopsis lupinoidesin Kamtchatka, Russia. The isolate did not form nodules onThermopsis chinensisorThermopsis caroliniana, which suggests it may be host specific.
