Diversity and stress tolerance in rhizobia from Parque Chaqueño region of Argentina nodulating Prosopis alba

The aim of this work was to investigate the genetic diversity, symbiotic effectiveness, drought tolerance, and indole acetic acid production of indigenous rhizobial populations in the Parque Chaqueño of Argentina able to nodulate Prosopis alba, the dominant forest tree of this region. The population...
