Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium-legume symbioses represents an environmentally
friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers in legume …

Legume specificity is encoded in rhizobial genetic elements that may be transferred among
species and genera. Dissemination (by lateral transfer) of gene assemblies dictating host …

The formulation and commercial production of any Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium legume
inoculant requires the integration of physical, chemical and biological parameters leading to …

В монографии обобщены результаты почти 30-летних исследований, проводимых при
непосредственном участии и под руководством автора, а также литературные данные …

Rhizobia are phylogenetically disparate α-and β-proteobacteria that have achieved the
environmentally essential function of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiosis with legumes …

The symbiotic partnerships between legumes and their root‐nodule bacteria (rhizobia) vary
widely in their degree of specificity, but the underlying reasons are not understood. To …

The contribution of biological nitrogen fixation to the total N requirement of food and feed
crops diminished in importance with the advent of synthetic N fertilizers, which fueled the …

Populations of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae were sampled from two bulk soils,
rhizosphere, and nodules of host legumes, fava bean (Vicia faba) and pea (Pisum sativum) …

Legume nodules, specialized structures for nitrogen fixation, are probably the result of
coevolution of plants and ancestral rhizobia. Among the evolutionary processes leading to …

A large proportion of genes within a genome encode proteins that play a role in metabolism.
The Alphaproteobacteria are a ubiquitous group of bacteria that play a major role in a …
