Cloning of DNA Sequences from Azospirillum Brasilense, Homologous to Rhizobium Nod Genes and Agrobacterium Vir Genes

  • Conference paper
Recognition in Microbe-Plant Symbiotic and Pathogenic Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 4))

Abstract

Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum (Tarrand et al 1978) are. free-living diazotrophs that can readily be isolated from the rhizosphere and roots of grasses. Little is known about the genetics of these bacteria or the molecular biology of their association with plants (for reviews, see Elmerich, 1984; Okon 1985).
