Current Issues in Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Proceedings of the 5th North American Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Conference, held at North Carolina,USA, August 13-17, 1995 / edited by G.H. Elkan, R.G. Upchurch.

In the 100 years since the legume-Rhizobium symbiotic nitrogen fixation interaction was first described, interest in this field has grown rapidly. The types of studies have been cyclical in nature, involving a cross-section of disciplines. The availability of cheap nitrogenous fertilizers caused muc...
