Abstract excerpt
Rhizobium etli strain TAL182 is a competitive strain for effective nodulation of beans. From this strain, a novel gene was isolated, slp, which is 669 bp in size and required for nodulation competition on the common bean. The slp knockout mutant of TAL182 is defective in nodulation competition, s...
