The Role of Nodulation Genes in Bacterium-Plant Communication

  • Chapter
Genetic Engineering

Part of the book series: Genetic Engineering ((GEPM,volume 13))

Abstract

Bacteria belonging to the genera Rhizobimn, Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium have the ability to establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with leguminous plants. The development of symbiosis takes place in several stages, determined by genes in both partners. A particular rhizobial partner induces root or/and stem nodules on the appropriate plant hosts. The first observable signs of interaction are the curling of root hairs and induction of meristematic cell division leading to nodule development. Then, the bacteria infect the root hairs and within a cellulose tube, the infection thread, they are transported into the developing nodule tissue. Many of the nodule cells are invaded by the nitrogen-fixing form of rhizobia, the bacteroids. Further nodule development culminates in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The produced ammonia is then utilized by the plant as the major nitrogen source (1,2).
