Members of the Leguminosae form the largest plant family on Earth, with around 18,000
species. The success of legumes can largely be attributed to their ability to form a nitrogen …

Our current understanding of spatial behaviour and parietal lobe function is largely based on
the belief that spatial neglect in humans (a lack of awareness of space on the side of the …

The nodC and nifH genes were characterized in a collection of 83 rhizobial strains which
represented 23 recognized species distributed in the genera Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium …

Following the initial discovery of two legume-nodulating Burkholderia strains (L. Moulin, A.
Munive, B. Dreyfus, and C. Boivin-Masson, Nature 411: 948-950, 2001), we identified as …

Nodulation abilities of bacteria in the subclasses Gammaproteobacteria and
Betaproteobacteria on black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) were tested. Pseudomonas sp …

The plasticity of rhizobial genomes is far greater than previously thought, with complex
genomic recombination events that may be accelerated by the often stressful environmental …

Chickpea has been considered as a restrictive host for nodulation by rhizobia. However,
recent studies have reported that several Mesorhizobium species may effectively nodulate …

Ninety-five rhizobial strains isolated from Astragalus adsurgens growing in the northern
regions of China were classified into three main groups, candidate species I, II and III, based …
