Abstract excerpt
Ethylene inhibits the establishment of symbiosis between rhizobia and legumes. To examine how and when endogenous ethylene inhibits rhizobial infection and nodulation, we produced transgenic Lotus japonicus carrying the mutated melon ethylene receptor gene Cm-ERS1/H70A that confers ethylene insensitivity and fixes the transgene in the T(3) generation. The resultant transgenic plants showed reduced ethylene...
