Ecological adaptation and phylogenetic analysis of microsymbionts nodulating Polhillia, Wiborgia and Wiborgiella species in the Cape fynbos, South Africa
Abstract Polhillia, Wiborgia and Wiborgiella species are shrub legumes endemic to the Cape fynbos of South Africa. They have the ability to fix atmospheric N2 when in symbiosis with soil bacteria called ‘rhizobia’. The aim of this study was to assess the morpho-physiological and phylogenetic charact...
