Abstract excerpt
To understand the genetic mechanism of host specificity in the interaction between rhizobia and their hosts, it is important to identify genes that influence both early and late steps in symbiotic development. This paper focuses on the little-understood genetics of host-specific nitrogen fixation. A deletion mutant of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, strain NAD163, was found to induce effective, nitrogen-fixing nodules...
