Abstract excerpt
Rhizobial specificity was examined on the basis of interaction between legume lectins (peanut, pea and soybean) and different rhizobial species (various bradyrhizobia specific for peanut, P 14-93 and SB16). Legume lectins showed higher affinity towards host-specific Rhizobium and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from those particular rhizobia. Two LPS mutants of peanut-specific Bradyrhizobiumn sp. (Arachis)...
