Title
Efficiency of Nodule Initiation in Cowpea and Soybean
T. V. Bhuvaneswari; Andrew P. Lesniak; Wolfgang D. Bauer PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 1988. doi:10.1104/pp.86.4.1210
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Nodule formation in both hosts was linearly dependent on log inoculum dosage up to an optimum.
- Observation Cowpea required 30- to 100-fold higher dosage than soybean for half-maximal nodulation.
- Observation At optimal dosage, cowpea formed about six times as many nodules as soybean.
- Observation Nodule initiation rate did not appreciably differ between hosts.
- Intervention effect Water storage did not affect nodule initiation efficiency on soybean.
- Intervention effect Water storage diminished cowpea nodulation efficiency over two weeks.
- Observation B. japonicum mutants were defective in soybean nodule initiation.
- Observation The same mutants were not defective in cowpea nodule initiation.
