Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect When inoculated alone, the plasmid did not affect Rm41 rhizosphere colonization regardless of calystegine production.
- Intervention effect In co-inoculations, plasmid-bearing Rm41 reached rhizosphere levels several orders higher than its plasmid-free counterpart on calystegine-positive plants.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that pRme41a can aid S. meliloti Rm41 colonization of calystegine-producing nonlegume hosts.
