Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) associations range in degree of bacterial proximity
to the root and intimacy of association. In general, these can be separated into extracellular …

Eukaryotes often form symbioses with microorganisms. Among these, associations between
plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are responsible for the nitrogen input into various …

Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium species are able to elicit the formation of
unique structures, called nodules, on the roots or stems of the leguminous host. In these …

Many legumes respond to Rhizobium inoculation by developing unique structures known as
nodules on their roots. The development of a legume nodule in which rhizobia convert …

How good and how pleasant it is for organisms to dwell together in unity! And, probably, how
common it is in the biological world. This review concerns a dramatic association, one of the …

An economically important problem in microbial ecology concerns the efficacy of rhizobial
inoculants for the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules on legume crop plants such as …

RHIZOBIUM meliloti is a symbiotic bacterium that elicits the morphogenesis of nitrogen-
fixing nodules, specific organs on the roots of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) 1. In R. meliloti a …

Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium strains, collectively referred to as rhizobia,
elicit on their leguminous hosts, in a specific manner, the formation of nodules in which they …

The symbiosis between Rhizobium and legumes is highly specific. For example, FL meliloti
elicits the formation of root nodules on alfalfa and not on vetch. We recently reported that R …
