Specificity in legume-rhizobia symbioses
M Andrews, ME Andrews - International journal of molecular sciences, 2017 - mdpi.com
Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via
symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia …
