Abstract excerpt
Mutational analysis of Pisum sativum L. was used to search for constitutive proteins that might function in nodule formation. The sym 5 locus is a mutational hot spot, represented by seven independently derived mutant lines with decreased nodulation. Comparison of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels of in vitro-translated root RNA showed a consistent difference in the migrational pattern of one peptide. In the...
