| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to clarify the host specificity of rhizobia to leguminous plants. This study was carried out from 1992 to 1993. In 1992 various root-nodule forming bacteria were collected from all over the world. Approximately 150 strains were collected which were isolated from 90 plant species. They were identified based on their 16S rRNA sequences, and phylogenetic analysis was carried out. With respect to the 16S rRNA sequences 17 varieties were found. No correlation was found between the evolution of leguminous plants and the evolution of rhizobia. In 1993 isolation of nodulation-associated genes of Azorhizobiuim caulinodans was carried out. Finally the nod M legion was isolated and sequenced. In order to establish the transposon tagging method for leguminous plants, regeneration ability from callus was examined for several kinds of leguminous plant species.
