Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on symbiotic strains of rhizobia associated with medicinal and sand-fixation plants in temperate China, highlighting a specific high-efficiency strain (CCBAU01603) that can nodulate AC plants.
- Whole genome sequencing was performed on multiple strains to investigate their genomic characteristics and host preferences, revealing that type III secretion systems (T3SS) evolved irregularly among AC rhizobia.
- Key elements such as T1SS, hydrogenase systems, and T3SS are proposed as factors influencing nodule formation and nitrogen fixation efficiency in these strains, underscoring their specificity in cross-nodulation.
