dc.description.abstractTwo cultivars of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) viz. contender and arka komal were planted in polythene bags containing sand and grown under glasshouse conditions. The nodulation status, shoot/root biomass, activities of several nodule enzymes, total soluble protein and leghaemoglobin contents were monitored over the entire growth period. Allantoinase activity in leaves was measured to monitor the ureide degrading capacity. Significant genotype difference was observed in both the cultivars. All the parameters showed a decline after flowering except uricase, which declined before flowering. Malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase showed a constant decline throughout the growth period. Degree of decline varied with the genotype for all the parameters. Leghaemoglobin content, PEP carboxylase activity and ureide degrading capacity of leaves did not show an appreciable decline in contender and were significantly higher than in arka komal. These factors can be used to increase nitrogen fixation in French bean.en_US
