Milestones in the genetical research on rhizobia.
The first isolation of the rhizobial bacteria from the legume roots was done in 1888. Since then a large number of scientists have made efforts to understand the molecular basis of Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. The important developments of 115 years of genetical research on rhizobia have been listed in this article.
