The genotypic differences in shoot and root weight, nodule number, nodule mass and activities of enzymes involved in of poly--hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were examined across ten desi and kabuli in chickpea genotypes (Cicer arietinum L.). The specific activities of enzymes of PHB metabolism (3-ketothiolase, acetoacetyl coenzyme A reductase and PHB synthase), and the tricarboxylic acid cycle ( citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase) were compared with the PHB accumulation in the nodules of different chickpea genotypes. It is suggested that a greater potential for oxidizing malate to oxaloacetate in chickpea genotypes Pusa 1088 and Pusa 1053 may be a factor that favors the utilization of acetyl- coenzyme A in the tricarboxylic acid cycle over PHB synthesis than in Pusa 256, and BGD72 which showed a relatively higher accumulation of PHB in the nodules. |
