  Analytical expressions of the wave functions are derived for a Bohr
Hamiltonian with the Manning{Rosen potential in the cases of {\gamma}-unstable
nuclei and axially symmetric prolate deformed ones with {\gamma}=0. By
exploiting the results we have obtained in a recent work on the same theme Ref.
[1], we have calculated the B(E2) transition rates for 34 {\gamma}-unstable and
38 rotational nuclei and compared to experimental data, revealing a qualitative
agreement with the experiment and phase transitions within the ground state
band and showing also that the Manning-Rosen potential is more appropriate for
such calculations than other potentials.
