Abstract excerpt
Using various mutant strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae, we have investigated the role of nodO in stimulating infection thread development in vetch and pea. Analysis of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae nodE and nodO mutants revealed no significant difference from the wild-type infection phenotype. Conversely, an R. leguminosarum bv. viciae nodE nodO double mutant was severely impaired in its ability to form...
