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 was characterized (P. van Rhijn, B. Feys, C. Verreth, and J. Vanderleyden, J. Bacteriol. 175: 438-447, 1993). As...
