Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria for Nodulation in Non Legumes - For the last few decades, efforts have been underway to induce nitrogen fixing bacteria to form root nodules in non legumes like cereals including rice, wheat and barley or in oil seed crops like rape, etc. These efforts in the past often met with failures. However, during the last few years, groups led by E. Cocking in UK, by Y. Jing in China and by B. Rolfe in Australia were successful in inducing the bacteria to form nodules in the roots of important crop plants like rice, wheat and oilseed rape
