Abstract excerpt
The level and mechanisms of population mixing among faba bean (Vicia faba) rhizobia of different geographic origins (three ecoregions of China and several Western countries) were analysed by sequencing three chromosomal housekeeping loci (atpD, recA and glnII) and one nodulation gene (nodD). Eight distinct sublineages of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae (Rlv) were identified by concatenated sequences of...
