One of the key properties of legumes is the formation of a mutually beneficial nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with nodule bacteria (rhizobia), which facilitates the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and provides plants with available nitrogen compounds, thereby increasing the productivity of phyto- and agrocenoses. Oxytropis czekanowskii Jurtz. is a rare subendemic species of perennial legume growing in Yakutia and Taimyr.</p> <p><bold>AIM:</bold> The aim of the work was to create a collection and study the rhizobial endophytes from nodules of O. czekanowskiigrowing in Norilsk (Krasnoyarsk Territory).</p> <p><bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</bold> Rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of plants by a standard technique using mannitol-yeast nutrient medium YMA after sterilization of nodules for 1 min in 96% ethanol. The taxonomic position of the isolates was studied using sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA and ITS region sequences.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> A high genetic diversity of the isolates was shown, assigned to six genera and four families of the order Hyphomicrobiales: Mesorhizobium (family Phyllobacteriaceae), Neorhizobium, Pararhizobium and Agrobacterium (family Rhizobiaceae), Bosea (family Boseaceae) and Tardiphaga (family Bradyrhizobiaceae). Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA genes and the ITS region, isolates P10/4-1 and P10/5-2 were assigned to the species Neorhizobium vignae, isolates P10/1-1 and P10/5-1 to the species Pararhizobium herbae, while isolate P10/3-1 was identified as Mesorhizobium qingshengii. At the same time, the strains Bosea sp. P10/2-3, P10/1-3 and P10/4-4, which showed a low level of similarity with the closest type strain, can potentially be attributed to a new species of microorganisms.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Thus, wild northern legumes are a unique source of valuable genetic resources of cold-resistant nodule and endophytic bacteria, promising for the creation of highly productive perennial pasture and hay cereal-legume phytocenoses in the extreme soil and climatic conditions of the Arctic.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Бобовые растения могут играть важнейшую роль при формировании высокопродуктивных пастбищных фитоценозов и обладают значительным потенциалом для интродукции в арктических регионах России с целью устойчивого развития северного животноводства. Одним из ключевых свойств бобовых является формирование взаимовыгодного азотфиксирующего симбиоза с клубеньковыми бактериями (ризобиями), что способствует фиксации атмосферного азота и обеспечивает растения доступными азотистыми соединениями, тем самым увеличивая продуктивность фито- и агроценозов. Остролодочник Чекановского (Oxytropis czekanowskii Jurtz.) — редкий субэндемичный вид многолетнего бобового растения, произрастающий в Якутии и на Таймыре.</p> <p>Цель — создание коллекции и изучение таксономического биоразнообразия бактериальных эндофитов из порядка Hyphomicrobiales, выделенных из клубеньков дикорастущего многолетнего растения O. czekanowskii, произрастающего в Норильске (Красноярский край).</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> Ризобиальные штаммы были выделены из корневых клубеньков растений по стандартной методике с использованием маннито-дрожжевой питательной среды YMA после стерилизации клубеньков в течение1 мин в 96% этаноле. Таксономическое положение изолятов изучали с помощью секвенирования и филогенетического анализа последовательностей 16S рДНК и ITS-региона.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Показано большое генетическое разнообразие изолятов, отнесенных к шести родам и четырем семействам порядка Hyphomicrobiales: Mesorhizobium (сем. Phyllobacteriaceae), Neorhizobium, Pararhizobium и Agrobacterium (сем. Rhizobiaceae), Bosea (сем. Boseaceae) и Tardiphaga (сем. Bradyrhizobiaceae). На основании анализа генов 16S рРНК и ITS-региона изоляты P10/4-1 и P10/5-2 были отнесены к виду Neorhizobium vignae, изоляты P10/1-1 и P10/5-1 —к виду Pararhizobium herbae, тогда как изолят P10/3-1 был идентифицирован как Mesorhizobium qingshengii. При этом штаммы Bosea sp. P10/2-3, P10/1-3 и P10/4-4, показавшие низкий уровень сходства с ближайшим типовым штаммом, потенциально могут быть отнесены к новому виду микроорганизмов.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Таким образом, дикорастущие северные бобовые являются уникальным источником ценных генетических ресурсов клубеньковых и эндофитных бактерий, перспективных при создании высокопродуктивных многолетних пастбищных и сенокосных злаково-бобовых фитоценозов в экстремальных почвенно-климатических условиях Арктики.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Oxytropis czekanowskii</kwd><kwd>legume-rhizobium symbiosis</kwd><kwd>arctic root nodule bacteria</kwd><kwd>northern agrophytocenoses</kwd><kwd>16S rRNA gene and ITS</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Oxytropis czekanowskii</kwd><kwd>бобово-ризобиальный симбиоз</kwd><kwd>арктические клубеньковые бактерии</kwd><kwd>северные агрофитоценозы</kwd><kwd>ген 16S рРНК и ITS</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Российский научный фонд (проект)</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Russian Science Foundation (project)</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>20-76-10042-П</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Tikhonovich IA, Provorov NA.
