Abstract
The quorum sensing systems used by Rhizobium strains and the genes involved in quorum sensing will be identified. The role of quorum sensing systems in general performance in vitro and in efficacy of Rhizobium will be analysed using mutants defective in production and/or perception of AHLs. The potential for inoculant improvement (both in shelf life and soil survival) and effects of inoculants on plasmid transfer in soil and on pathogenicity of specific indigenous soil plant pathogens will be determined.
