Legumes form a large group of plants that constitute the third largest family of angiosperms,
including near 20,000 species and 750 genera. Most of them have the ability to establish …

In bacteria, niche adaptation may be determined by mobile extrachromosomal elements. A
remarkable characteristic of Rhizobium and Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) but also of …

ABSTRACT A total of 103 root nodule isolates were used to estimate the diversity of bacteria
nodulating Lotus tenuis in typical soils of the Salado River Basin. A high level of genetic …

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in southern Africa are
nodulated by a genetically diverse group of Bradyrhizobium strains. To determine the …

Over the years, the term “rhizobia” has come to be used for all the bacteria that are capable
of nodulation and nitrogen fixation in association with legumes but the taxonomy of rhizobia …

The root-nodule bacteria of legumes endemic to the Cape Floristic Region are largely
understudied, even though recent reports suggest the occurrence of nodulating …

Bacterial interactions with plants are accompanied by complex signal exchange processes.
Previously, the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic (rhizo) bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum was …

Strains of the same bacterial species often show considerable genomic variation. To
examine the extent of such variation in Rhizobium etli, the complete genome sequence of R …

This work centres on the genomic comparisons of two closely-related nitrogen-fixing
symbiotic bacteria, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae 3841 and Rhizobium etli …

The farmer folks around the world are facing acute problems in providing plants with
required nutrients due to inadequate supply of raw materials, poor storage quality …
