Abstract
Improved Rhizobium genotypes must be able to compete with indigenous populations if they are to be of any benefit. At present, little is known about the genetics of competitive differences between strains. However, work done in this project has now identified a number of Rhizobium trifolii strains which, in the field, differ in their ability to compete for nodule sites with indigenous rhizobia. Contrasting strains will be used to investigate whether the relevant genetic controls are located on the chromosome or are plasmid borne. Further studies will then seek to identify and characterise the genes controlling competitiveness.
