Host plant nodule parameters associated with nitrogen fixation efficiency in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) cultivars.

Abstract excerpt

Two cultivars of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) viz. contender and arka komal were planted in polythene bags containing sand and grown under glasshouse conditions. The nodulation status, shoot/root biomass, activities of several nodule enzymes, total soluble protein and leghaemoglobin contents were monitored over the entire growth period. Allantoinase activity in leaves was measured to monitor the ureide...
