A Mutant of Pea (Pisum sativum) Possibly Disturbed in the Production of a Compound Required for the Induction of Nitrogenase Activity in Bacteroids

  • Chapter
Book cover Molecular genetics of plant-microbe interactions

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 3))

Abstract

Compared to our knowledge of the genes of Rhizobium species concerned in the symbiontic nitrogen fixation, data about the genetic information of the host plant pertaining to the interaction with the bacteria are relatively scarce. Surveys of the available data have recently been given (1, 2). For a genetic analysis mutant alleles of host plant genes are required. The effect of a mutation may either be a block in a step leading to the formation of nodules or interfere with the functioning of the bacteroids.
