Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain KIM5s is consistently much more competitive than strain CE3 in nodulation of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the laboratory and in the field. To identify genes that contribute to the competitiveness of KIM5s, we transferred a cosmid library containing KIM5s DNA into CE3 and applied the transconjugants to bean plants to allow the plants to enrich for those with...
