Abstract

The physiological action of the MOD-19 polysaccharide (PS), synthesized similarly to bacterial glucans, on the nodule bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae and pea seeds was studied. It was found that MOD-19 stimulated nodule bacterium growth and bacterial biomass accumulation. It also altered metabolism in rhizobia grown in solid and liquid media containing this polymer. Treatment of pea seeds with MOD-19 before sowing increased the intensity of root formation, plant tissue peroxidase activity, and general symbiosis efficiency owing to secondary nodule formation on lateral roots and prolongation of their intense nitrogen fixation.
