Isolation and Identification of Salinity-Tolerant Rhizobia and Nodulation Phenotype Analysis in Different Soybean Germplasms
CURRENT ISSUES IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY(2024)
Abstract
Increasing the soybean-planting area and increasing the soybean yield per unit area are two effective solutions to improve the overall soybean yield. Northeast China has a large saline soil area, and if soybeans could be grown there with the help of isolated saline-tolerant rhizobia, the soybean cultivation area in China could be effectively expanded. In this study, soybeans were planted in soils at different latitudes in China, and four strains of rhizobia were isolated and identified from the soybean nodules. According to the latitudes of the soil-sampling sites from high to low, the four isolated strains were identified as HLNEAU1, HLNEAU2, HLNEAU3, and HLNEAU4. In this study, the isolated strains were identified for their resistances, and their acid and saline tolerances and nitrogen fixation capacities were preliminarily identified. Ten representative soybean germplasm resources in Northeast China were inoculated with these four strains, and the compatibilities of these four rhizobium strains with the soybean germplasm resources were analyzed. All four isolates were able to establish different extents of compatibility with 10 soybean resources. Hefeng 50 had good compatibility with the four isolated strains, while Suinong 14 showed the best compatibility with HLNEAU2. The isolated rhizobacteria could successfully establish symbiosis with the soybeans, but host specificity was also present. This study was a preliminary exploration of the use of salinity-tolerant rhizobacteria to help the soybean nitrogen fixation in saline soils in order to increase the soybean acreage, and it provides a valuable theoretical basis for the application of saline-tolerant rhizobia.
