Abstract excerpt
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a highly coordinated process involving legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria known as rhizobia. In this study, we investigated a novel Fix- mutant of the model legume Lotus japonicus that develops root nodules with endosymbiotic rhizobia but fails in nitrogen fixation. Map-based cloning identified the causal gene encoding the filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH)...
