Ultrastructure of Rhizobium-induced infection threads in clover root hairs.
Ultrastructural studies of Rhizobium-induced infection threads in clover root hairs show that the infection thread is initiated by an invagination process. Root hair wall growth is redirected at a localized point, resulting in the formation of an open pore. There is no direct penetration through the wall, and the bacteria remain extracellular within the root hair.
متن کاملMutant strains of clover rhizobium (Rhizobium trifolii) that form nodules on soybean (Glycine max).
Mutant strains of Rhizobium trifolii that induce nitrogenase activity in the free-living state were isolated. These strains, unlike the wild type, nodulated soybean and mungbean plants, producing effective nodules. One of the strains, strain DT72, also nodulated clover but the nodules were ineffective. Strain DT125 consumed hydrogen gas from the gas phase, which can be coupled to nitrogenase ac...
متن کاملRegulation by fixed nitrogen of host-symbiont recognition in the Rhizobium-clover symbiosis.
Either NO(3) (-) (16 millimolar) or NH(4) (+) (1 millimolar) completely inhibited infection and nodulation of white clover seedlings (Trifoliin repens) inoculated with Rhizobium trifolii. The binding of R. trifolii to root hairs and the immunologically detectable levels of the plant lectin, trifoliin, on the root hair surface had parallel declining slopes as the concentration of either NO(3) (-...
متن کاملAdsorption of bacteria to roots as related to host specificity in the Rhizobium-clover symbiosis.
Quantitative microscope techniques were utilized to examine the adsorption of rhizobial cells to clover root hairs. Adsorption of cells of noninfective strains of Rhizobium trifolii or infective R. meliloti strains to clover root hairs was four to five times less than that of the infective R. trifolii strains. Attachment of the rod-shaped bacteria to clover root cells occurred in a polar, end-o...
متن کاملRoot Hair Deformations Associated with Fractionated Extracts from Rhizobium trifolii.
Components from culture fluid and whole cells of Rhizobium trifolii were examined for effects on root hair morphology of white clover seedlings (Trifolium repens var. Ladino). Cell-free culture fluid, exopolysaccharides, supernatant fluid from the precipitation of the exopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, and a protein fraction from culture fluids were assayed for m...
