Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation nifH gene fragments were amplified from sweet potato stem and storage-root mRNA.
- Association Expressed clones were homologous to Bradyrhizobium nifH sequences.
- Association Expressed clones were homologous to Pelomonas nifH sequences.
- Association Expressed clones were homologous to Bacillus sp. nifH sequences.
- Mechanism Bradyrhizobia may colonize sweet potatoes and express nifH as endophytes.
