Abstract excerpt
The positive activation of several nodulation genes in strain ANU843 of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii is mediated by the product of the nodD gene and by the interaction of NodD with plant-secreted inducer and anti-inducer compounds. We have mutagenized the nodD gene of strain ANU843 wit...
