Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium tropici strain CIAT899 induces nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of a wide range of tropical legumes, including Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala. Previously, a DNA region of the CIAT899 pSym plasmid containing the common nodulation genes nodABC and one of the nodD alleles...
