Biology of the Rhizobiaceae /

Biology of the Rhizobiaceae covers the genetics, molecular biology, agricultural, and morphological aspects of the rhizobia. The book discusses the taxonomy and identification of the Rhizobiaceae; the biology of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the specific events in the disease cycle of crown gall; an...
