The Rhizobium leguminosarum host range plasmid pJB5JI was transferred to three fast‐growing bacterial strains able to nodulate soybeans. These strains, isolated in China, contained plasmids and were able to transfer pJB5JI back to R. leguminosarum . Soybean strains carrying pJB5JI elicited early stages of nodule development on peas.
