DNA sequence and mutational analysis of rhizobitoxine biosynthesis genes in Bradyrhizobium elkanii.
We cloned and sequenced a cluster of genes involved in the biosynthesis of rhizobitoxine, a nodulation enhancer produced by Bradyrhizobium elkanii. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned 28.4-kb DNA region encompassing rtxA showed that several open reading frames (ORFs) were located downstream of rtxA. A large-deletion mutant of B. elkanii, USDA94 Delta rtx::Omega 1, which lacks rtxA, ORF1 (rtxC...
متن کاملRhizobitoxine production in Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 by Bradyrhizobium elkanii rtxACDEFG genes.
We examined the genetic basis and transfer for production of rhizobitoxine, an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis in plants, directed by the rtx genes of Bradyrhizobium elkanii. Comparison with genome sequences of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Xanthomonas oryzae suggests that the rtx genes extend from the previously identified rtxAC genes through four additional genes rtxDEFG. Reverse transcript...
متن کاملBradyrhizobium elkanii nod regulon: insights through genomic analysis
A successful symbiotic relationship between soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and Bradyrhizobium species requires expression of the bacterial structural nod genes that encode for the synthesis of lipochitooligosaccharide nodulation signal molecules, known as Nod factors (NFs). Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA 110 possesses a wide nodulation gene repertoire that allows NF assembly and modificat...
متن کاملRhizobitoxine-induced chlorosis occurs in coincidence with methionine deficiency in soybeans.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Rhizobitoxine, produced by the legume symbiont Bradyrhizobium elkanii, inhibits cystathionine-beta-lyase (EC 4.4.1.8) in methionine biosynthesis and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACC) in ethylene biosynthesis. Rhizobitoxine production by B. elkanii enhances nodulation of host legumes via the inhibition of ethylene synthesis, but causes foliar chlorosis in susce...
متن کاملIdentification of Bradyrhizobium elkanii Genes Involved in Incompatibility with Soybean Plants Carrying the Rj4 Allele.
Symbioses between leguminous plants and soil bacteria known as rhizobia are of great importance to agricultural production and nitrogen cycling. While these mutualistic symbioses can involve a wide range of rhizobia, some legumes exhibit incompatibility with specific strains, resulting in ineffective nodulation. The formation of nodules in soybean plants (Glycine max) is controlled by several h...
