Since these two cover crops are legumes, they form a symbiosis with specialized soil bacteria called rhizobia. |
We have developed a novel bio-remediation system based on the symbiosis between leguminous plant and genetically engineered rhizobia. |
Seeds were not inoculated with rhizobia and plants were dependent on inorganic nitrogen. |
Preliminary inoculation of the seeds with the corresponding rhizobia species should help in this case. |
Legume roots are known to exude various flavonoid and isoflavonoid molecules that induce expression of nod genes by bacteria in rhizobia. |
The exploitation of rhizobia for the development of de bio-inoculants is the main interest. |
