  1. 1. Bacterial communities associated with roots of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) : diversity in relation to soil origin and effects on plant growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Fang Chen; [2013]
    Keywords : lupin; Bradyrhizobium; symbiosis;

    Abstract : Bacteria play several important ecological functions in soil and in relation to plants. Legumes, such as the recently introduced grain legume narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.), develop N2-fixing root nodules in response to infection by soil bacteria generally called rhizobia but can also interact with other soil bacteria.
