Abstract | BACKGROUND AND AIMS: METHODS: Wild-type B. elkanii and a rhizobitoxine-deficient mutant were inoculated in Glycine max 'Lee'. Thirty days after inoculation, the upper parts of soybean shoots were analysed for amino acid contents. Chlorotic soybeans inoculated with wild-type B. elkanii were treated with methionine and ACC to assess the effects of the chemicals on the chlorosis. KEY RESULTS: Chlorotic upper shoots of soybeans inoculated with wild-type B. elkanii had a lower methionine content and higher accumulation of the methionine precursors than those with the rhizobitoxine-deficient mutant. In addition, the foliar chlorosis was alleviated by the application of methionine. CONCLUSIONS:
