A variant cell line of Astragalus melilotoides Pall. resistant to 14 mmol/L methionine was selected from calluses via mutagenesis with sodium azide. The plantlets were induced from the variant calluses. The regenerated variant plants were transplanted in soil and had set seeds. After the variant calluses had been cultured for 25 days in the medium containing 15 mmol/L methionine, the relative growth rate was 10.2 folds of the control's. Free amino acids of the aspartate family in the variant cell line increased obviously in comparison with the control. Analyses of SDS-PAGE pattern and isozyme pattern of peroxidase revealed the differences between the variant plants and the control's.

Pall. 1776 is a perennial leguminous forage, widely distributed in northern China, with cold, drought and disease resistance characteristics. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of It was 123,827 bp in length and 36.

Astragalus is the largest genus in Leguminosae. Several molecular studies have investigated the potential adulterants of the species within this genus; nonetheless, the evolutionary relationships among these species remain unclear. Herein, we sequenced and annotated the complete chloroplast genomes of three species-, var.

Soil samples from four vegetation mini-patches (Artemisia scoparia, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Sophora alopecuroides, Astragalus melilotoides) in a desert steppe in central Ningxia were collected. Soil physico-chemical properties including soil particle-size distribution, organic matter, pH, EC, total N, total K, total P of three depths were measured. The fractal dimension of particle size distribution characteristics of soils derived from four different vegetation mini-patches and their correlations with soil physico-chemical properties were examined.

Legume, with a strong resistance to the adverse environmental conditions, is one of pioneer plants in the desert region and plays an important role in the protection of the ecological environment. In this study, the symbiosis of rhizobia associating with shrubby and herbaceous legumes in Shenmu area, Shaanxi, China was characterized by the 16S rRNA PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis of involved genes. A total of 55 strains were isolated and purified, including 30 strains from the shrubby legume Amorpha fruticosa and Caragana microphylla, and 25 strains from herbaceous plants Astragalus adsurgens, Medicago sativa and Astragalus melilotoides.
