    “PHENOTYPIC AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF CHICKPEA ROOT NODULE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2007) HINGE VIDYA RAMESH; Dr. G. C. Jadeja
    An investigation was carried out to study the diversity of chickpea Root Nodule Bacteria (RNB) isolated from different areas of middle Gujarat, using various phenotypic and molecular techniques. In all, 22 RNB isolates of chickpea, comprising 18 RNB isolates from different areas of middle Gujarat, two from IARI, one each from Dharwad and one commercial culture (GSFC, Vadodara), were studied with five standard strains of Rhizobium and one standard strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The 18 RNB isolates were selected and confirmed as Rhizobium, using several biochemical tests and the pure cultures were preserved on YEMA slants for further study.
