General characteristics of symbiotic relationships between bacteria belonging to the order rhizobiales and wild legumes
Abstract
Over the different years, plants such as Alhagi pseudalhagi (M.Bieb.) Desv. ex B. Keller & Sha., Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Trifolium pratense L., growing wild in ecologically diverse areas of the Republic of Azerbaijan, have been studied for their tuber bacteria and symbiotic tuber formation. It has become clear that the ecological differences in the environments in which plants grow determine both the number of bacteria and their ability to form symbiotic tubers. The relatively favorable environment does not have a clear negative impact on the processes studied. Understanding this may lead to the development of favorable approaches to prevent crop losses in the face of global climate change.
