Preface
Traditionally, the term ‘rhizobia’ refers to a special group of soil bacteria that can induce root and/or stem nodules on legume plants and reduce dinitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) inside the nodules. The nodule symbiosis of rhizobia-leguminous plants is the most efficient biological nitrogen-fixing system on the planet. Based upon their important ecological and economic impacts, rhizobia have been studied for about one and half centuries, and the legume-rhizobium symbiosis has been applied for improving the growth of pl
