RESUMEN
Pea (Pisum sativum L.), like most legumes, forms mutualistic symbioses with nodule bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The positive effect of inoculation is partially determined by the plant genotype; thus, pea varieties with high and low symbiotic responsivity have been described, but the molecular genetic basis of this trait remains unknown. Here, we compare the symbiotically responsive breeding line 'Triumph' of grain pea with its parental cultivars 'Vendevil' (a donor of high symbiotic responsivity) and 'Classic' (a donor of agriculturally valuable traits) using genome and transcriptome sequencing. We show that 'Triumph' inherited one-fourth of its genome from 'Vendevil', including the genes related to AM and nodule formation, and reveal that under combined inoculation with nodule bacteria and AM fungi, 'Triumph' and 'Vendevil', in contrast to 'Classic', demonstrate similar up-regulation of the genes related to solute transport, hormonal regulation and flavonoid biosynthesis in their roots. We also identify the gene PsGLP2, whose expression pattern distinguishing 'Triumph' and 'Vendevil' from 'Classic' correlates with difference within the promoter region sequence, making it a promising marker for the symbiotic responsivity trait. The results of this study may be helpful for future molecular breeding programs aimed at creation of symbiotically responsive cultivars of pea.
RESUMEN
Rhizobium ruizarguesonis (Rhizobium leguminosarum) strain 1TK341 was isolated from pink nodules of fixation-negative mutant line P61 of pea (Pisum sativum L.) grown in soil. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain.
RESUMEN
Plants can form various beneficial associations with soil microorganisms, such as associations with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). In this work, we report the full-genome sequence of the component of Mysorin biopreparation, identified as Microbacterium hominis, consisting of a single 3.5-Mbp circular chromosome.
