Abstract
The aim of this study is to show the possibility of using Exopolysacchrides (EPS) which is isolated from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Phaseoli as a principle factor in nodules formation on the roots of Phaseolus vulgaris plants . In addition to use these compounds in callus induction from the hepocotyles explants of Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings and from hypocotyles , cotyledons and roots explants of Helianthus annus seedlings . The stimulation effect of EPS on the formation of nodules shaped structures was very clear since the percentage of these structures formation was 48% in nitrogen free medium (NF) supplemented with 0.2 mg/L (EPS) . In addition to increase the protein content of Phaseolus vulgaris plants wich grown in NF medium containing (0.05-0.1 ,0.2,0.4 ,and 0.8) mg /L EPS . The results showed the success of callus induction from different explants of Helianthus annus seedlings especially when it is used with Benzyl adenine (BA) , in agar solidified MS medium and the percentage of callus formation was 100% from hypocotyls and roots explants . Also the using of EPS alone in MS agar solidified medium helped callus induction and root formation from explants of Helianthus annus and Phaseolus vulgaris seedling.
