Abstract excerpt
Fast neutron mutagenesis of Lotus japonicus wild-type genotype Gifu resulted in the isolation of a stable mutant (FNN5-2) unable to form nitrogen-fixing nodules in symbiosis with Mesorhizobium loti, though being infected by mycorrhizal fungi. The mutation behaves as a loss-of-function recessive, and has no other apparent phenotypic effects. Molecular characterization indicates a partial loss of the lysin motif...
