Photorespiratory Metabolism and Nodule Function: Behavior of Lotus japonicus Mutants Deficient in Plastid Glutamine Synthetase

Two photorespiratory mutants of Lotus japonicus deficient in plastid glutamine synthetase (GS2) were examined for their capacity to establish symbiotic association with Mesorhizobium loti bacteria. Biosynthetic glutamine synthetase (GS) activity was reduced by around 40% in crude nodule extracts fro...
