Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is carried out in specialized organs, the nodules, whose formation is induced on leguminous host plants by bacteria belonging to the family Rhizobiaceae. Nodule development
Values for qPCR results represent means of three biological replicates. *Contigs were originally classified based on 454 sequencing results. The tendency (nodule-enhanced or root-enhanced expression w
The aim of this project is to decipher the evolutionary and functional shape of the Sinorhizobium meliloti pangenome, with a particular focus on the symbiotic relationship with leguminose plants.
1Only the fixed effects or interactions involving presence/absence of rhizobium are shown; random effects reflecting the main plot, split-plot and split-split-plot levels of organization of the factor
