Symbiotic ß-proteobacteria beyond legumes: Burkholderia in Rubiaceae.

Symbiotic ß-proteobacteria not only occur in root nodules of legumes but are also found in leaves of certain Rubiaceae. The discovery of bacteria in plants formerly not implicated in endosymbiosis suggests a wider occurrence of plant-microbe interactions. Several ß-proteobacteria of the genus Burkho...

Symbiotic ß-proteobacteria beyond legumes: Burkholderia in Rubiaceae.
description Symbiotic ß-proteobacteria not only occur in root nodules of legumes but are also found in leaves of certain Rubiaceae.

Several ß-proteobacteria of the genus Burkholderia are detected in close association with tropical plants.

The presence or absence of Burkholderia endophytes is consistent on genus level and therefore implies a predictive value for the discovery of bacteria.
