title: Determination of host specificity of cowpea miscellany Rhizobium spp. by nodABC-lacZ fusion.
abstract: Cowpea miscellany group of rhizobia are generally broad host range. Transconjugants of these cowpea rhizobial isolates having nodABC-lacZ fusion were monitored for flavonoid/root exudate-induced activation of the nod genes in terms of beta-galactosidase activity, thus determining the potential host range of the rhizobial isolates.
