Salinity is one of the severe problems in worldwide agricultural production. Soil salinity limits the productions of both forage and grain legumes. Adverse effects of salinity are mediated through detrimental effects on the rhizobium-legume interactions that lead to the establishment of the nitrogen fixing symbiosis. Salt stress inhibits the initial steps of the rhizobia -legume symbiosis. For improvement of nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation under saline environments, the answer lies in selecting and developing salt tolerant cultivars of legumes as well as rhizobium for effective symbiosis under salinity. This review focuses on the effect of salt stress on nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes and to suggest future lines for alleviation of salinity effects on these processes.

Changes in the nodular metabolism in Desi and Kabuli genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under salt stress

Legume Research - An International Journal (2006)

Neera Garg Ranju Singla

Experiments were conducted to study the nodular metabolism, in order to draw comparisons between nitrogen fixation, carbon fixation and ammonia assimilation in nodule cytosol of desi (CSG 8962, DCP 92-3) and kabuli (CSG 9651, BG 267) genotypes of chickpea. Maximum acetylene reduction activity (ARA) was observed in CSG 9651 and minimum in DCP 92-3.The specific activity of ammonia assimilating enzymes GS, GDH, GOGAT was less affected in the CSG 9651, CSG 8962 as compared to BG 267, DCP 92-3. GS activity was more tolerant of salinity than GOGAT and it limits ammonia assimilation under saline stress. Nodule phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity wasenhanced by salt stress and was clearly related to salt concentration. Chickpea genotypes tolerant to salt stress have better enzyme activities responsible for higher nodule nitrogen fixation.
