Rhizobium Proliferation-Supporting Substances in Seed Exudates of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Seed exudates collected from three cultivars (cv. Hokkaikintoki, Himetebou, and Kurodane-kinugasa) of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were fractionated based on several physicochemical properties, and the nutrient substances in the fractions effective for Rhizobium proliferation were determined. Regardless of the common bean cultivars, the low molecular weight and high polarity fraction showed the most beneficial effect on Rhizobium proliferation. After further separation of the low molecular weight and high polarity fraction, the promoting effect was detected in the non-ionic and the cationic plus ampho-teric subtractions. Although the amount of sugars or amino acids exuded from a seed was, respectively, similar in all the cultivars except for the sugars in Kurodanekinugasa, the content of these compounds per seed-weight was inversely proportional to the seed size. Ten sugars and twenty-one amino acids were, respectively, identified in the non-ionic and cat-ionic plus amphoteric subtractions, and there were some differences in the composition of these substances between common bean cultivars.
