What is it about?

The present work aimed to characterize rhizobia nodulating Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) cultivated in sixdifferent geographical locations in Northwestern Morocco. Forty-seven rhizobial isolates from nodules of Trigonella foenum-graecum were grouped into thirteen clusters using the Rep-PCR technique. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNAgene sequences of 13 groups showed that all representative strains were closely related to members of the genus Ensifer(syn. Sinorhizobium) of the Alphaproteobacteria. (PDF) Genetic diversity of rhizobia isolated from nodules of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) cultivated in Northwestern Morocco.

Why is it important?

All the representative strains shared 100% similarity with Ensifer medicaeWSM419T. NodC and nifH gene analysis revealed a close phylogenetic relationship of the representative strains with thoseof the strains belonging to the symbiovar meliloti. Furthermore, nodulation ability of our rhizobial strains was efficient intheir host plant (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.).

Perspectives

Further studies with moresampling from other regions of Morocco are recommended to better explore the phylogenetic diversity of T. foenum-graecumrhizobial species in Moroccan soil.
