Nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between legume plants and rhizobia is established through complex interactions between two symbiotic partners. To identify the host legume genes that play crucial roles in such interactions, we isolated a novel Fix- mutant, Ljsym105, from a model legume Lotus japonicus MG-20. The Ljsym105 plants displayed nitrogen-deficiency symptoms after inoculation with Mesorhizobium loti under...
