Abstract excerpt
Rhizobia are symbiotic bacteria that elicit the formation on leguminous plants of specialized organs, root nodules, in which they fix nitrogen. In various Rhizobium species, such as R. leguminosarum and R. meliloti, common and host-specific nodulation (nod) genes have been identified which determ...
