The Expression of Sym-Plasmids and Ti Plasmids in Rhizobia and Agrobacteria

  • Chapter
Advances in Nitrogen Fixation Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 4))

Abstract

Agrobacteria and rhizobia belong to the bacterial family of Rhizobiaceae.The classification of bacteria belonging to this family into species is based on phytopathogenic and symbiotic properties. In the genus Agrobacterium three species can be distinguished viz A. tumefaciens, the causative agent of the crown gall disease, A.rhizogenes,which induces hairy root in plants, and A.radiobacter, which is non-pathogenic. The genus Rhizobium contains species such as R.trifolii, which forms root nodules on clovers, R.phaseoli, which nodulates beans, and R.leguminosarum, which induces nodulation on peas, lathyrus and vetches.
