Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can establish a symbiotic association with legumes. As a
result, plant nodules are formed on the roots of the host plants where rhizobia differentiate to …

Sequencing the symbiotic region of Bradyrhizobium japonicum revealed a gene cluster (tts)
encoding a type III secretion system (TTSS) that is similar to those found in Mesorhizobium …

Genetically, Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 and R. fredii USDA257 are closely related. Small
differences in their nodulation genes result in NGR234 secreting larger amounts of more …

In vivo expression technology (IVET) analysis of rhizosphere‐induced genes in the plant
growth‐promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 identified a …

Rhizobia are nitrogen-fixing bacteria that establish a nodule symbiosis with legumes.
Nodule formation depends on signals and surface determinants produced by both symbiotic …

▪ Abstract Among many interesting and sophisticated mechanisms used by bacterial
pathogens to subvert eukaryotic hosts is a class of specialized protein secretion systems …

The physical and genetic map of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum chromosome revealed that
nitrogen fixation and nodulation genes are clustered. Because of the complex interactions …

Plant pathogenic bacteria and rhizobia infect higher plants albeit the interactions with their
hosts are principally distinct and lead to completely different phenotypic outcomes, either …

The ability of Rhizobium spp., Mesorhizobium spp., Sinorhizobium spp., Bradyrhizobium
spp. and Azorhizobium spp., collectively called rhizobia, to nodulate plants is determined by …

Abstract Lipo‐chitin oligosaccharides (LCOs), produced by rhizobia, are causative agents of
the formation of root nodules in leguminous plants. As outlined in this review, the root …
