During the period of DOE fundin~ we synthesized several PRP peptides,generated rabbit antisera against two PRP repeats found in early nodulin PRl%, and developed “confocal rnicros&py methods for ~oot irnmunohisto&ernistry. Using the anitbc@ies, we completed ext&&ke descriptive studies of PRP deposition in medic and alfalfa roots showing that PRPs deposition is developmentally regulated in roots...

We tested the hypotheses that (1) inoculation with AM fungi results in down-regulation of MtPht1;1 and MtPht1;2 genes (encoding high-affinit...
