Abstract
The availability of mutant is of fundamental importance to biological research. Complex metabolic pathways and developmental process can be analyzed using a collection of mutants which are defective at various stages. Mutations in the plant genes are needed to study symbiotic nitrogen fixation, for the use of rhizobial mutants alone will not indicate the developmental stages controlled by plant genes. We plan to identify host factors involved in recognition, infection and control of nodule number through the use of mutants of Pisum sativum. After a transformation and regeneration system is established for Pisum, the function of cloned symbiotic genes may be discerned via complementation of host mutants.
