"Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) used to be considered a restrictive host that nodulated and fixed nitrogen only with Mesorhizobium\r\nciceri and M.mediterraneum. Recent analysis revealed that chickpea can also establish effective symbioseswith strains of several\r\nother Mesorhizobium species such as M. loti, M. haukuii, M. amorphae, M. muleiense, etc. These strains vary in their nitrogen\r\nfixation potential inviting further exploration. We characterized newly collected mesorhizobial strains isolated from various\r\nlocations in Ethiopia to evaluate genetic diversity, biogeographic structure and symbiotic effectiveness. Symbiotic effectiveness\r\nwas evaluated in Leonard Jars using a locally released chickpea cultivar “Nattoli”. Most of the new isolates belonged to a clade\r\nrelated to M. plurifarium, with very few sequence differences, while the total collection of strains contained three additional\r\nmesorhizobial genospecies associated with M. ciceri, M. abyssinicae and an unidentified Mesorhizobium species isolated from a\r\nwild host in Eritrea. The four genospecies identified represented a subset of the eight major Mesorhizobium clades recently\r\nreported for Ethiopia based on metagenomic data. All Ethiopian strains had nearly identical symbiotic genes that grouped them in\r\na single cluster with M. ciceri, M. mediterraneum and M. muleiense, but not with M. plurifarium. Some phylogeographic\r\nstructure was observed, with elevation and geography explaining some of the genetic differences among strains, but the relation\r\nbetween genetic identity and symbiotic effectiveness was observed to be weak."^^ .
