Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium (now Sinorhizobium) fredii is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium that can nodulate soybean in a cultivar-specific manner. This process is governed by a set of negatively acting nodulation genes termed nolXWBTUV. These genes prevent R. fredii strain USDA257 from infecting soybean cult...
