Abstract:
      To investigate the microevolution of symbiotic rhizobia associated with Glycyrrhiza uralensis, the plant was cultivated aseptically in greenhouse to isolate rhizobia from the local soil. A total of 21 rhizobial strains were isolated and identified as Rhizobium leguminosarum, Rhizobium alamii, Rhizobium yanglingense, Rhizobium phaseoli, Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense, Rhizobium sp. I and Bradyrhizobium sp. II. And Rhizobium sp. I was the predominant group, followed by Bradyrhizobium sp. II based on the core gene recA sequences. The community structure was relatively simple, with low nucleotide diversity (π) observed (range: 0.00205~0.01791, mean: 0.010406). Genetic differentiation (Dxy) was high, with values ranging from 0.0688 to 0.1935 (mean: 0.1483).The gene flow index (Nm) exhibited low values (range: 0.02~17.10, mean: 3.048). In conclusion, the high genetic diversity and low frequency of gene exchange suggest that the rhizobia associated with G. uralensis in eastern Inner Mongolia exhibit strong genetic stability throughout their evolutionary history.
