Abstract

TheRhizobium spp. isolated from the root nodules of two leguminous trees (Butea monosperma andPterocarpus marsupium) and two pulses (Vigna radiata andLens culinaris) produced abscisic acid in culture from sodium acetate. Probably, bioproduction of abscisic acid byRhizobium spp. is a new report.
