Rhizobial Adaptation to Hosts, a New Facet in the Legume Root-Nodule Symbiosis
Rhizobia are able to infect legume roots, elicit root nodules, and live therein as endosymbiotic, nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Host recognition and specificity are the results of early programming events in bacteria and plants, in which important signal molecules play key roles. Here, we introduce a...
