Abstract

Plasmid R68.45 was used to promote conjugal transfer of chromosomal markers in Rhizobium trifolii RS55. Analysis of two-factor and three-factor crosses among R. trifolii strains enabled construction of a circular linkage map of the R. trifolii chromosome, containing 17 nutritional and resistance markers.
