Abstract Background and Aims This study was conducted to reveal the genetic diversity of
common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodulating rhizobia in various agroecological regions …

Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) was introduced to Kenya several centuries ago but the
rhizobia that nodulate it in the country remain poorly characterised. To address this gap in …

Abstract Phaseolus vulgaris (L.), commonly known as bean or common bean, is considered
a promiscuous legume host since it forms nodules with diverse rhizobial species and …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most widely distributed and has the broadest
range of genetic resources. In Ethiopia, the yield of common bean is extremely low mainly …

Thirty rhizobial isolates that nodulate common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants were
obtained from a range of cultivated soils covering 16 geographical sites in Jordan …

The diversity and phylogeny of 32 rhizobial strains isolated from nodules of common bean
plants grown on 30 sites in Ethiopia were examined using AFLP fingerprinting and MLSA …

Nodule bacteria (rhizobia) in symbiotic associations with legumes enable considerable
entries of biologically fixed nitrogen into soil. Efforts are therefore made to intensify the …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in legumes plays a critical role in improving soil fertility.
Despite this vital role, there is limited information on the genetic diversity and BNF of …

The genetic diversity and the N2 fixation potential of 10 rhizobial isolates nodulating
Phaseolus vulgaris in the soils of the Jordan valley was investigated. Random amplified …

Eighteen isolates of common bean rhizobium from Konso (GI), Arbaminch (GII), Sodo (GUI),
and Zeway-Awassa-Dilla (GIV) regions in Southern Ethiopia were isolated and …
