Abstract excerpt
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation involves the development, on the legume plant root, of specialised organs called nodules, within which plant photosynthates are exchanged for combined nitrogen of bacterial origin. The glnB gene encodes a signal transduction protein (P(II)) which is a component of the bacterial nitrogen regulation (Ntr) system and an essential regulator of ammonium assimilation. We demonstrate that in...
