Abstract excerpt
Bacteroid differentiation was examined in developing and mature alfalfa nodules elicited by wild-type or Fix- mutant strains of Rhizobium meliloti. Ultrastructural studies of wild-type nodules distinguished five steps in bacteroid differentiation (types 1 to 5), each being restricted to a well-defined histological region of the nodule. Correlative studies between nodule development, bacteroid differentiation, and...
