Metabolite Regulation

The effects of metabolic activators and inhibitors on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity were examined at pH 7 in partially purified enzyme from nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), Psophocarpus tetragonolobus DC. and Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis (L.) Verdc. Glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, fructose 1-phosphate, fructose 1,6- bisphosphate and phosphoglycerate stimulated the activity about 2-fold at low (0.5 mM) but not saturating (2.5 mM) PEP concentration. Glc 6-P and fru 6-P were the most effective activators and they increased the affinity of the enzyme for PEP by 2-4-fold. The dicarboxylates, malate, succinate, malonate, 2-oxoglutarate and aspartate inhibited PEPC activity. Malate was the most inhibitory, and strongly inhibited PEPC activity even at saturating PEP concentration. The Ki values for malate were 0.3-0.4 mM for soybean and P. tetragonolobus. However, glc 6-P and fru 6-P alleviated maiate inhibition and increased the Ki values by 11- to 28-fold in these two species. We propose that glc 6-P (fru 6-P) activates PEPC in a feedforward regulation and protects it against feedback inhibition by malate and thus coordinates the supply of photosynthate availability with malate synthesis required by the bacteroids to support symbiotic nitrogen fixation in nodules.

Ureide Degradation

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants form root nodules and fix atmospheric dinitrogen, while also utilizing the combined nitrogen absorbed from roots. In this study, nodulated soybean plants were supplied with 5 mM N nitrate, ammonium, or urea for 3 days, and the changes in metabolite concentrations in the xylem sap and each organ were analyzed. The ureide concentration in the xylem sap was the highest in the control plants that were supplied with an N-free nutrient solution, but nitrate and asparagine were the principal compounds in the xylem sap with nitrate treatment. The metabolite concentrations in both the xylem sap and each organ were similar between the ammonium and urea treatments. Considerable amounts of urea were present in the xylem sap and all the organs among all the treatments. Positive correlations were observed between the ureides and urea concentrations in the xylem sap as well as in the roots and leaves, although no correlations were observed between the urea and arginine concentrations, suggesting that urea may have originated from ureide degradation in soybean plants, possibly in the roots. This is the first finding of the possibility of ureide degradation to urea in the underground organs of soybean plants.

Biological Nitrogen fixation is one of the important aspects of organic agriculture gaining considerable attention globally. Information about the number of viable indigenous Bradyrhizobia in soils planted with legumes and their capacity to nodulate is a valuable tool in developing strategies to improve biological nitrogen fixation. Such strategies could potentially lead to increased soybean yields at low cost. This study was conducted to isolate and enumerate Bradyrizobium species dwelling in the root nodule of soybean plant using Bradyrhizobium japonicum selective medium (BJSM). Twenty (20) strains of Bradyrizobium species were isolated from the root nodules of soybean plants harvested from Ahmadu Bello University farm site, located at Bomo district of Sabongari local government area, Kaduna State, Nigeria. This was achieved using the streak method of isolation on BJSM. Ninety percent (18) of these isolates were confirmed as Bradyrizobium species using the plant infection test as they were able to nodulate the roots of soybean plants. The enumeration of the indigenous Bradyrizobium species gave a count ranging from 2.07x105 - 4.0x106 CFU/mL. Thus, the number of Bradyrhizobia obtained in the soil of this study is sufficient to achieve satisfactory results on nodulation and nitrogen fixation.

Original Habitat

Azospirillium is a genus of non-symbiotic N fixer bacteria, known as a biological fertilizer inoculant. The quality of Azospirillum sp. inoculant often decrease when applied outside its original habitat. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the viability and increase its effectiveness. One way that can be done is by adding organic material as additives as a source of energy for bacteria. Potential organic materials can be used as additives to stimulate the viability, activity and effectiveness of Azospirillium sp. are coconut water, molasses and bran. The organic material contained elements such as C, N and P as the source of nutrients for Azospirillium sp. which was inoculated in Soybean (Glycine max L.) plants. This experiment aimed to examine the effect of additive application on Azospirillum sp. population, root nodules, and seed weight of soybean plants (Glycine max L.) on Jatinangor Inceptisols. The experimental design used was Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted of combination between of Azospirillum sp. and additives type, namely molasses, coconut water and bran. The results showed that the application of a mixture of bran, molasses, and coconut water attracted the population of Azospirillum sp. higher than the control treatments. Meanwhile molasses, coconut water, and additive mixtures have the potential to increase the number of root nodules and soybean pods yields. Coconut water, molasses and bran are organic materials that have the potential as additives that stimulate the activity and increase the population of Azospirillium sp. and soybean pods.

The effect of pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds with fungicides on the intensity of ethylene release, the processes of nodulation and nitrogen fixation in different symbiotic systems in the early stages of ontogenesis were investigated. The objects of the study were selected symbiotic systems formed with the participation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) Diamond variety, strains Bradyrhizobium japonicum 634b (active, virulent) and 604k (inactive, highly virulent) and fungicides Maxim XL 035 PS (fludioxonil, 25 g/L, metalaxyl, 10 g/L), and Standak Top (fipronil, 250 g/L, thiophanate methyl, 225 g/L, piraclostrobin, 25 g/L). Before sowing, the seeds of soybean were treated with solutions of fungicides, calculated on the basis of one rate of expenditure of the active substance of each preparation indicated by the producer per ton of seed. One part of the seeds treated with fungicides was inoculated with rhizobium culture for 1 h (the titre of bacteria was 107 cells/mL). To conduct the research we used microbiological, physiological, biochemical methods, gas chromatography and spectrophotometry. It is found that, regardless of the effectiveness of soybean rhizobial symbiosis, the highest level of ethylene release by plants was observed in the stages of primordial leaf and first true leaf. This is due to the initial processes of nodulation – the laying of nodule primordia and the active formation of nodules on the roots of soybeans. The results show that with the participation of fungicides in different symbiotic systems, there are characteristic changes in phytohormone synthesis in the primordial leaf stage, when the nodule primordia are planted on the root system of plants. In particular, in the ineffective symbiotic system, the intensity of phytohormone release decreases, while in the effective symbiotic system it increases. At the same time, a decrease in the number of nodules on soybean roots inoculated with an inactive highly virulent rhizobia 604k strain due to the action of fungicides and an increase in their number in variants with co-treatment of fungicides and active virulent strain 634b into the stage of the second true leaf were revealed. It was shown that despite a decrease in the mass of root nodules, there is an increase in their nitrogen-fixing activity in an effective symbiotic system with the participation of fungicides in the stage of the second true leaf. The highest intensity of ethylene release in both symbiotic systems was recorded in the stage of the first true leaf, which decreased in the stage of the second true leaf and was independent of the nature of the action of the active substances of fungicides. The obtained data prove that the action of fungicides changes the synthesis of ethylene by soybean plants, as well as the processes of nodulation and nitrogen fixation, which depend on the efficiency of the formed soybean-rhizobial systems and their ability to realize their symbiotic potential under appropriate growing conditions.

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) Anjasmoro variety is one of the superior soybean varieties widely cultivated in West Kalimantan. The growth of soybean can be increased by applying liquid organic fertilizer namely goat biourine. The purpose of this study was to determine the goat biourine quality and the effect of the application of goat biourine on the growth of Anjasmoro variety soybean plants. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments, namely without biourine/control, 100 mL/L biourine, 200 mL/L biourine, 300 biourine mL/L and  400 mL/L biourine. Each treatment was repeated 5 times to obtain 25 experimental units. The analysis of goat biourine showed the value of C-Organic 2.03%, pH 4.83, N 0.72%, P 0.004% and K 0.234%. The results showed that apply of goat biourine had a significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, shoot wet of weight, shoot dry of weight, number of branches, number of root nodules and the number of effective root nodules, but it had not a significant effect on root wet of weight and root dry of weight.

In specific plant organs, namely the root nodules of alfalfa, fixed nitrogen (ammonia) produced by the symbiotic partner Sinorhizobium meliloti supports the growth of the host plant in nitrogen-depleted environment. Here, we report that a derivative of S. meliloti carrying a mutation in the chromosomal ntrR gene induced nodules with enhanced nitrogen fixation capacity, resulting in an increased dry weight and nitrogen content of alfalfa. The efficient nitrogen fixation is a result of the higher expression level of the nifH gene, encoding one of the subunits of the nitrogenase enzyme, and nifA, the transcriptional regulator of the nif operon. The ntrR gene, controlled negatively by its own product and positively by the symbiotic regulator syrM, is expressed in the same zone of nodules as the nif genes. As a result of the nitrogen-tolerant phenotype of the strain, the beneficial effect of the mutation on efficiency is not abolished in the presence of the exogenous nitrogen source. The ntrR mutant is highly competitive in nodule occupancy compared with the wild-type strain. Sequence analysis of the mutant region revealed a new cluster of genes, termed the “ntrPR operon,” which is highly homologous to a group of vap-related genes of various pathogenic bacteria that are presumably implicated in bacterium-host interactions. On the basis of its favorable properties, the strain is a good candidate for future agricultural utilization.
