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 …

Rhizobial symbiosis genes are often carried on symbiotic islands or plasmids that can be
transferred (horizontal transfer) between different bacterial species. Symbiosis genes …

Herein the members of the Subcommittee on Taxonomy of Rhizobia and Agrobacteria of the
International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes review recent developments in …

Phylogenomic analyses showed two major superclades within the family Rhizobiaceae that
corresponded to the Rhizobium/Agrobacterium and Shinella/Ensifer groups. Within the …

Flavonoids secreted by legumes play a major role as signal molecules for attracting
compatible rhizobia. The aim of this study was to assess and understand the diversity of …

Aims To describe the structure of nodules of Vachellia (Acacia) jacquemontii, and to
characterise the rhizobia that occupy them. Methods Light and electron microscopy were …

Vachellia karroo (formerly Acacia karroo) is a wide-spread legume species indigenous to
southern Africa. Little is known regarding the identity or diversity of rhizobia that associate …

In the present study, samples of rhizosphere and root nodules were collected from different
areas of Pakistan to isolate plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. Identification of bacterial …

A total of 18 strains, representing members of the genus Mesorhizobium, obtained from root
nodules of woody legumes growing in Ethiopia, have been previously shown, by multilocus …

The lack of an appropriate genomic platform has precluded the use of gain‐of‐function
approaches to study the rhizobium–legume symbiosis, preventing the establishment of the …
