“…lupini strain with some special characteristics. The lucerne nodulation of this strain is very peculiar, but the cross-inoculation groups of Rhizobium (ALLEN & 'ALLEN 1958) are not yet completely defined and need much more study.…”

The bioproduction of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-carboxylic acid (K'A) from L-tryptophan in root nodules and roots of Lupinus luteus and by the symbiotic Rhizobium lupini was studied in vitro, and IAA degradation and the conversion of a number of related indole derivatives were also investigated. The results permit the conclusion that at least a substantial part of the large amounts of IAA present in the root nodules is produced via plant enzymes as a result of a metabolic alteration induced by the rhizobial infection. Young roots appeared to possess a high activity of IAA production from L-tryptophan, but most of this production is masked by enzymatic degradation of IAA.According to the results of the IAA destruction experiments, cell-free enzyme extracts of mature roots show the lowest activity, and the non-dialyzed young root enzyme extract exhibits significantly greater activity than the dialyzed preparations. For the root nodule enzyme preparations this situation was found to be reversed, suggesting that the balance between promoting and inhibiting substances influencing enzymatic IAA degradation in nodule tissueis changed in favour of inhibition as a result of the rhizobial infection. Some interesting data concerning differences in IAA destruction behaviour between different strains of Rh. lupini were also obtained.The results of the comparative investigations concerning the conversion of a number of related indole derivatives indicated that there are some significant differences with respect to the conversion capacities of the different incubation systems.

“…Toms & Western (1971) list almost 1000 legumes that have been examined for phytohaemagglutinin activity, and for which the data were neither ambiguous nor controversial. Similarly, Norris (1956) and Allen & Allen (1958) reported on the nodulation status of the Leguminales (sample size 1200). The results of both surveys are listed in Table 5.…”

“…Given the enormous volume of literature that has accumulated over the last century, a complete historical review would exhaust both the reader and the writer. The reader therefore is directed to several excellent reviews and monographs for a more complete treatment of individual topics (Aulie, 1970;Allen and Allen, 1958;Burris, 1974Burris, , 1979Fred et al, 1932;Jensen, 1940Jensen, , 1965Mishustin and Shil'nikova, 1971;Postgate, 1982; David R.
