Legumes are a unique source of protein for food and feed industry. Legumes synthesize protein valuable for living organisms using atmospheric nitrogen which they can fix due to their symbiosis with root nodule bacteria. The formation of plant-microbial symbiotic systems depends on complementary interaction of signaling molecules of both symbionts. Rhizobia signaling molecules are lipochitooligosaccharides, so called Nod factors. The synthesis of core part of Nod factor molecule is determined by nodA, nodB and nodC...

The effectiveness of rhizobia-legume symbiotic interaction is under the genetic control of macro- and microsymbionts. Both symbionts exhibit high level of genome/genome specificity interaction which is reflected by symbiotrophic indices vary significantly. Virulence and plant dry mass increasing are indices widely used in order to reveal well matched rhizobia strain and variety of legume host plant for practice demand. The aim of the research was to study how allelic polymorphism of symbiotically significant genes...
