    Notes: Abstract Two cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris L., one responsive to colonization with microsymbionts (Mexico 309) and one less-responsive (Rio Tibagi) were grown in Leonard jars containing sand/vermiculite under greenhouse conditions. Bean plants were either left non-inoculated (controls) or were inoculated with the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus etunicatum or a strain of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli (UMR-1899). Plants from the Mexico 309 cultivar maintained a higher growth rate, supported proportionately more nodules and mycorrhizae, and assimilated relatively more N or P when colonized by Rhizobium or Glomus, respectively, than did plants of the Rio Tibagi cultivar. Estimated specific nodule activity for Mexico 309 beans was more than twice that of Rio Tibagi, whereas the specific phosphorus uptake rate (SPUR) was 35% greater in the non-inoculated roots of Rio Tibagi compared to Mexico 309. Colonization by G. etunicatum more than doubled the SPUR for each cultivar compared to control roots. New acid phosphatase isozymes appeared in VAM-colonized roots of both cultivars compared to controls. Acid and alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly higher in G. etunicatum-colonized Mexico 309 roots, but not in Rio Tibagi mycorrhizae, compared to uninfected roots. Polyphosphate hydrolase activity was elevated in mycorrhizae of both cultivars compared to control roots. These results indicate that the dependence of a host on a specific endophyte increases when there are limitations to the supply of a nutrient that the endophyte can provide. The greater the increase in absorption or utilization capacity following colonization by the microsymbiont, the greater the dependence by the host. More importantly, identification of enzymatic activities that influence these plant-microbe associations opens the possibility that the specific genes that code for these enzymes could be targeted for future manipulation.

    Notes: Abstract Although common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has good potential for N2 fixation, some additional N provided through fertilizer usually is required for a maximum yield. In this study the suppressive effect of N on nodulation and N2 fixation was evaluated in an unfertile soil under greenhouse conditions with different levels of soil fertility (low=no P, K and S additions; medium = 50, 63 and 10 mg kg−1 soil and high = 200, 256 and 40 mg kg−1 soil, respectively) and combined with 5, 15, 60 and 120 mg N kg−1 soil of 15N-labelled urea. The overall average nodule number and weight increased under high fertility levels. At low N applications, nitrogen had a synergistic effect on N2 fixation, by stimulating nodule formation, nitrogenase activity and plant growth. At high fertility and at the highest N rate (120 mg kg−1 soil), the stimulatory effect of N fertilizer on N2 fixation was still observed, increasing the amounts of N2 fixed from 88 up to 375 mg N plant−1. These results indicate that a suitable balance of soil nutrients is essential to obtain high N2 fixation rates and yield in common beans.
