Physiological Limitations and the Genetic Improvement of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation

Rhizobium species involved in root nodule formation on legume plants are one of the best known groups of micro­ organisms. The Rhizobium legume symbiosis continues to be of strategic importance particularly in the context of food production. As the world population grows, it is also neces­ sary to have new developments taking place in crop improve­ ment. The development and application of new tech...
