  abstract = {{L}egumes in the genus {A}eschynomene form nitrogen-fixing root nodules in association with {B}radyrhizobium strains. {S}everal aquatic and subaquatic species have the additional capacity to form stem nodules, and some of them can symbiotically interact with specific strains that do not produce the common {N}od factors synthesized by all other rhizobia. {T}he question of the emergence and evolution of these nodulation characters has been the subject of recent debate. {W}e conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis of 38 different {A}eschynomene species. {T}he phylogeny was reconstructed with both the chloroplast {DNA} trn{L} intron and the nuclear ribosomal {DNA} {ITS}/5.8{S} region. {W}e also tested 28 {A}eschynomene species for their capacity to form root and stem nodules by inoculating different rhizobial strains, including nod{ABC}-containing strains ({ORS}285, {USDA}110) and a nod{ABC}-lacking strain ({ORS}278). {M}aximum likelihood analyses resolved four distinct phylogenetic groups of {A}eschynomene. {W}e found that stem nodulation may have evolved several times in the genus, and that all {A}eschynomene species using a {N}od-independent symbiotic process clustered in the same clade. {T}he phylogenetic approach suggested that {N}od-independent nodulation has evolved once in this genus, and should be considered as a derived character, and this result is discussed with regard to previous experimental studies.},
