Abstract excerpt
Introduction of a cosmid library of megaplasmid DNA of Rhizobium sp. BR816, a broad host range Rhizobium strain, into R. etli CE3, a narrow host range bean symbiont, resulted in the isolation of a transconjugant that could effectively nodulate Leucaena leucocephala. Analysis of the corresponding...
