These beneficial bacteria are housed in root nodules formed on legume roots. However, the uncontrolled formation of numerous ...
the formation of the young nodule is brought about by the multiplication and growth in size of the root-cells, principally in the cortex. In lucerne and clover, the bacteria are at first enclosed ...
