Rhizobia inoculants have contributed to increase N 2 fixation and yield in legumes crops.
However, most of the inoculants produced world-wide are of poor or suboptimal quality. We …

The diversity and phylogeny of nodA and nifH genes were studied by using 52 rhizobial
isolates from Acacia senegal, Prosopis chilensis, and related leguminous trees growing in …

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 …
