Biogeography and specificity of legume rhizobial symbiovars
The majority of legume species (plant family Fabaceae ) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) via symbiotic bacteria (general term ‘rhizobia’) in root nodules. Symbiovars are defined as strains of rhizobia that can establish an N 2 -fixing...
