Abstract:

Agrobacterium rhizogenes has been shown to cause root proliferation and increased water use efficiency in certain woody dicots. Root proliferation may be desirable in herbaceous legumes as a means of increasing potential sites for infection by Rhizobium species and subsequent nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Thus, A. rhizogenes was used to...
