Abstract
Genetic diversity of 196 isolates of Sinorhizobium from nodules of Medicago sativa (cv. Hamadani) grown in different soil samples was investigated. Plasmid profile and the PCR/RFLP of 16S-23S rRNA were employed for this study. The results of the plasmid profile distinguished 27 groups among 196 isolates. PCR/RFLP of 16S-23S rRNA from 150 isolates of Sinorhizobium showed that they could be divided into three distinct groups. The two major groups were identified as S. meliloti and S. medicae and a third minor group appeared different from the other two. Shannon’s index was different in each land type in Hamadan province. Results also indicated that there was a positive correlation between some soil characteristics and Shannon’s index.
