Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In vitro associations of the non-legumeLycopersicum esculentum andRhizobium sp. cowpea 32H1 were established. Tomato plants induced rhizobial nitrogenase activity. Induction of nitrogenase activity was possible through a membrane which was impermeable for bacteria.
