Abstract excerpt
In a systematic approach to identify genes involved in the early steps of the legume-Rhizobium symbiosis, we studied transcription patterns of symbiotic plasmid-borne loci. A competitive hybridization procedure was used to identify DNA restriction fragments carrying genes whose expression is enhanced by plant root exudates or by purified flavonoids. Fragments containing induced genes were then located on the...
