Abstract
Nodulation in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis is a host plant-specific process. The speciation of the genus Rhizobium is primarily based on the existence of different so-called cross-inoculation groups, e.g. R. meliloti nodulates alfalfa but not pea, and R. leguminosarum nodulates pea, vetch, lentil and sweet pea but not alfalfa.
