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 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 کاملConservation of nodulation genes between Rhizobium meliloti and a slow-growing Rhizobium strain that nodulates a nonlegume host.
Parasponia, a woody member of the elm family, is the only nonlegume genus whose members are known to form an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with a Rhizobium species. The bacterial strain RP501 is a slow-growing strain of Rhizobium isolated from Parasponia nodules. Strain RP501 also nodulates the legumes siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureum) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). Using a cosmid clo...
متن کاملGenetic map of Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid pRmeSU47b.
A circular linkage map of the Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid pRmeSU47b was constructed. The map consists of transposon insertions carrying alternating antibiotic resistance markers linked by phi M12 transduction. Data from conjugation experiments utilizing donor strains carrying Tn5-oriT insertions in the megaplasmid supported the proposed genetic map. In addition, the positions of previously i...
