Interference between Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium trifolii nodulation genes: genetic basis of R. meliloti dominance.
Transfer of an IncP plasmid carrying the Rhizobium meliloti nodFE, nodG, and nodH genes to Rhizobium trifolii enabled R. trifolii to nodulate alfalfa (Medicago sativa), the normal host of R. meliloti. Using transposon Tn5-linked mutations and in vitro-constructed deletions of the R. meliloti nodFE, nodG, and nodH genes, we showed that R. meliloti nodH was required for R. trifolii to elicit both...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism for loss of nodulation properties of Rhizobium trifolii.
Of 18 Rhizobium trifolii strains tested, 12 showed a high frequency of loss of nodulation ability after incubation in cultures at elevated temperatures. A correlation between loss of nodulation ability and loss of a large plasmid was demonstrated for R. trifolii. In some nonnodulating (Nod-) mutants, deletions occurred instead of total elimination of the plasmid molecule. The maximum curing eff...
متن کاملRhizobium leguminosarum genes involved in early stages of nodulation.
Nodulation genes from Rhizobium leguminosarum have been subcloned and transferred to a strain of R. phaseoli with its symbiotic plasmid deleted (and therefore its nodulation and nitrogen fixation genes). Normal infection and nodule development occurred when these strains were added to the roots of Pisum sativum (peas) and Vicia hirsuta. The pea nodules were examined by electron microscopy; bact...
متن کاملRhizobium meliloti Nodulation Genes: Identification of nodDABC
A set of conserved, or common, bacterial nodulation (nod) loci is required for host plant infection by Rhizobium melioti and other Rhizobium species. Four such genes, nodDABC, have beeii indicated in R. meliloti 021'by genetic analysis and DNA sequencing. An essential step toward Iunderstanding the function of these genes is to characterize their protein products. We used in vitro and maxicell ...
متن کاملDNA sequence of Rhizobium trifolii nodulation genes reveals a reiterated and potentially regulatory sequence preceding nodABC and nodFE.
The Rhizobium trifolii nod genes required for host-specific nodulation of clovers are located on 14 kb of Sym (symbiotic) plasmid DNA. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a 3.7 kb portion of this region has revealed open reading frames corresponding to the nodABCDEF genes. A DNA sequencing technique, using primer extension from within Tn5, has been used to determine the precise locations of ...
