Identification of Rhizobia Species that can Establish Nitrogen-Fixing Nodules in Crotalaria Longirostrata

open in viewerDue to the growing US Hispanic population, there is an agricultural incentive to grow the El Salvadoran leguminous herb "Chipilin" (Crotalaria longirostrata) on New England farms. Legumes require a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia in order to utilize atmospheric nitrogen. However, it is not known which strains of rhizobia are appropriate for establishing nitrogen-fixing nodules in Chipilin. Six strains of rhizobia were evaluated for increased plant yield and decreased nitrogen application. Upon harvest, Western Blotting was used to successfully probe for leghemoglobin, a protein indicator of nitrogen fixation.
