Abstract excerpt
The ability of Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 and other diazotrophic bacteria to internally colonize roots of Arabidopsis thaliana has been studied. Strains tagged with lacZ or gusA reporter genes were used, and the principal colonization sites were found to be the points of emergence of lateral roots, lateral root cracks (LRCs). High frequencies of colonization were found; 63 to 100% of plants were colonized by...
