Symbiotic N2 Fixation and N Uptake of Yellow and White Lupines Influenced by Spontaneous Rhizobia Infection and Substrate

Abstract

By using soil as substrate, white and yellow lupines (Lupinus albus L., Lupinus luteus L.) assimilated higher N amounts than under quartz sand conditions. This was caused by spontaneous infection of lupines with wild Rhizobia strains and also by an additional N uptake from the soil. In yellow lupines without inoculation in non-sterile soil, only the additional N uptake played a role. Differences in P and K supply as the cause of different N acquisition from soil and quartz sand could be excluded. As compared with white lupines, yellow lupines inoculated with Rhizobia had a high N₂ fixation that exceeded the effect of spontaneous infections. This result as well as the positive effect of spontaneous infections with soil-borne Rhizobia on white lupines indicates insufficient effectiveness of the strains used for inoculation on this plant species.     

四类大豆根瘤菌形态学研究

用电子和光学显微术对已报道的３类大豆根瘤菌以及快慢过渡型大豆根瘤菌进行形态学研究，发现在这４类大豆根瘤菌形态特征，特别是鞭毛特征上，有显著差异：快生型大豆根瘤菌为极生多鞭毛、快慢过渡型为周生鞭毛、慢生型为极生单鞭毛或亚极生单鞭毛．超慢生型未观察到鞭毛
