Specificity of the Lens-Rhizobium relation

Through the study of 10 genotypes from 6 Lens species, in combination with 4 Rhizobium strains from 3 species, the specificity at the accession × strain level will be determined. Infectiveness and effectiveness of this multiple combinations will be available, setting the groundwork for a better understanding of the role of exotic germplasm for improving nitrogen fixation.
