Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and Oxalis – evidence for a vertically inherited bacterial symbiosis

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and Oxalis – evidence for a vertically inherited bacterial symbiosis

Abstract Background Plant-endophyte symbioses often revolve around nitrogen metabolism, and involve varying degrees of intimacy. Although evidence for vertical inheritance of nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria is increasing, it is confined mostly to crop plants, and to date no such system has been...
