Detection of Burkholderia in the seeds of Psychotria punctata (Rubiaceae) - Microscopic evidence for vertical transmission in the leaf nodule symbiosis.

Detection of Burkholderia in the seeds of Psychotria punctata (Rubiaceae) - Microscopic evidence for vertical transmission in the leaf nodule symbiosis.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The bacterial leaf nodule symbiosis is a close interaction between endophytes and their plant hosts, mainly within the coffee family.
