  abstract = {he class {B}etaproteobacteria contains several related genera that associate closely (and non-pathogenically) with plants. {R}ecent studies have highlighted the emerging importance of newly-discovered legume-nodulating bacteria in the genera {B}urkholderia and {C}upriavidus, the so-called “beta-rhizobia”. {N}ine species of nodulating burkholderias have been described so far, most being ancient (ca. 50 my) symbionts of many of the 500 species in the large genus {M}imosa, but also of several other species of the legume tribe {M}imoseae ({M}imosoideae). {N}odulation in these species by beta-rhizobia is thought to have emerged through the ancient lateral transfer of nodulation genes to their endophytic ancestors, followed by mainly vertical transfer (horizontal transfer being also detected in a few species), as illustrated by the parallelism between phylogenies of taxonomic and symbiotic markers. {I}n contrast to {B}urkholderia, the most studied {C}upriavidus species, {C}. taiwanensis, is considered to be a very recent legume symbiont that only nodulates a few invasive {M}imosa spp. {O}n the plant side, genera belonging to the tribe {M}imoseae (especially those in the {P}iptadenia {G}roup, which includes the genera {M}imosa and {P}iptadenia) and several species in {P}apilionoid genera endemic to the {F}ynbos in the {C}ape region of {S}outh {A}frica exhibit particular affinities for beta-rhizobia. {L}egume taxonomy thus appears to give some insights into the potential nodulation of plants by beta-rhizobia. {T}his is particularly exemplified by the genus {M}imosa, within which there are clades of geographically-isolated endemics that clearly have evolved to have preferences for specific symbiont types (either alpha- or beta-proteobacterial). {O}n the other hand, although many of the relatives of {M}imosa (e.g., species in {P}iptadenia) share their preferences for beta-rhizobial symbionts, this is not always the case, and, indeed, there is no obvious strict pattern of coevolution between species in the wider tribe {M}imoseae and their symbionts (beta-rhizobial or otherwise). {T}his is discussed in terms of the broad host ranges of both symbiotic partners, and the horizontal transfer of nodulation genes between the {B}urkholderia species.},
