Entry of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae into Root Hairs Requires Minimal Nod Factor Specificity, but Subsequent Infection Thread Growth Requires nodO or nodE

Using various mutant strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae, we have investigated the role of nodO in stimulating infection thread development in vetch and pea. Analysis of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae nodE and nodO mutants revealed no significant difference from the wild-type infection phenot...
