Nodulation Gene Mutants of Mesorhizobium loti R7A—nodZ and nolL Mutants Have Host-Specific Phenotypes on Lotus spp.

Rhizobial Nod factors induce plant responses and facilitate bacterial infection, leading to the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules on host legumes. Nodule initiation is highly dependent on Nod-factor structure and, hence, on at least some of the nodulation genes that encode Nod-factor produ...
