Nitrogenase and antioxidant enzyme activities in Phaseolus vulgaris nodules formed by Rhizobium tropici isogenic strains with varying tolerance to salt stress.

Abstract excerpt

Common bean plants inoculated with salt-tolerant Rhizobium tropici wild-type strain CIAT899 formed a more active symbiosis than did its decreased salt-tolerance (DST) mutant derivatives (HB8, HB10, HB12 and HB13). The mutants formed partially effective (HB10, HB12) or almost ineffective (HB8, HB13) nodules (Fix(d)) under non-saline conditions. The DST mutant formed nodules that accumulated more proline than did...
