Growth comparisons of a supernodulating soybean (Glycine max) mutant and its wild-type parent

The growth of a supernodulating, nitrate-tolerant soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant nts 382 (nitrate-tolerant symbiosis) was compared to that of its wild-type parent, cv. Bragg, over the first 50 days after sowing. Plants were grown either inoculated in the absence of an external nitrogen source or uninoculated in the presence of 5 m M KNO₃. For both treatments, nts 382 growth up to 13 days after planting was faster than that of cv. Bragg. Thereafter, supernodulation of inoculated nts 382 occurred and growth of cv. Bragg was faster; shoot and root dry weight increments and leaf area were greater in cv. Bragg, but the N content of nts 382 was higher. Relative growth and net assimilation rates were lower in nts 382, which had faster shoot and root respiration rates. Shoot growth of uninoculated plants was similar for both mutant and wild-type but roots of nts 382 were slightly smaller than those of cv. Bragg. Total plant N content was similar in uninoculated cv. Bragg and nts 382 but the latter had a higher leaf N content. Early lateral root formation (prior to nodule emergence) was greater in nts 382 regardless of whether rhizobia or KJNO₃ were present. We conclude that nts 382 has some inherent differences from its parent but that supernodulation significantly retards plant growth.     

Efficiency of Nodule Initiation and Autoregulatory Responses in a Supernodulating Soybean Mutant

We compared the formation of nodules on the primary roots of a soybean cultivar (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Bragg) and a supernodulating mutant derivative, nts382. Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 at different times after seed imbibition showed that the roots acquired full susceptibility to infection only between 3 and 4 days postgermination. When the plants were inoculated with serial dilutions of a bacterial suspension, the number of nodules formed in the initially susceptible region of the roots was linearly dependent on the logarithm of the inoculum dose until an optimum dose was reached. At least 10-fold-lower doses were required to induce half-maximal nodulation responses on nts382 than on the wild type. However, at optimal doses, about six times as many nodules formed in the initially susceptible region of the roots in nts382. Since there was no appreciable difference in the apparent rates of nodule emergence, the increased efficiency of nodule initiation in the supernodulating mutant could have resulted from a lower threshold of response to bacterial symbiotic signals. Two inoculations (24 h apart) of G. max cv. Bragg revealed that there was a host-mediated regulatory response that suppressed nodulation in younger portions of the primary roots, as reported previously for other soybean cultivar-Bradyrhizobium combinations. Similar experiments with nts382 revealed a comparable suppressive response, but this response was not as pronounced as it was in the wild type. This and other results suggest that there are additional control mechanisms for nodulation that are different from the systemic autoregulatory control of nodulation altered in supernodulating mutants.     

Nitrogenase activity and ureide levels in a supernodulating soybean mutant: Effects of inoculum dose and nitrate treatment

The effects of nitrate on nitrogenase (EC 1.18.2.1) activity of soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr) cv. Bragg and its supernodulating mutant derivative, nts382, were compared. A short-term nitrate treatment was used to allow effects on nitrogenase activity to be studied in the absence of effects on nodule growth and a low inoculum dose, which prevented supernodulation of nts382, was employed to test for any interaction between supernodulation and the magnitude of the effect of nitrate on nitrogenase activity. At the usual inoculum dose, nitrogenase activity, per g nocule, of nts382 was lower than that of Bragg and was proportionally less affected by nitrate. Decreasing the inoculum dose increased nitrogenase activity of nts382 and also the proportional decline in response to nitrate. The decline in the ureide conentration in xylem exudate in response to nitrate was proportionally similar to the decline in nitrogenase activity per plant. However, although nitrogenase activity per plant of nts382 was several-fold less than that of Bragg, the ureide flux rate (ureide concentration x xylem sap exudation rate), was not different. At the usual inodulum dose, the ureide content of the nocules, stems plus petioles and leaves of nts382 was greater than that of Bragg. Decreasing the inoculum dose reduced the ureide content of the nodules of nts382 but not of Bragg. Ureide degradative capacity of the leaves was the same for Bragg and nts382. Low activities of 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.4.2.14) and glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) in the nodules reflected the low nitrogenase activity of nts382.     

Relationship between autoregulation and nitrate inhibition of nodulation in soybeans

Ten of 11 supernodulating mutants of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cv. Bragg, in which nodulation was far in excess of that in the wild type, showed pronounced tolerance of nodulation to applied nitrate. Mutant nts (nitrate-tolerant symbiosis) 1116 had an intermediate nodulation response and also showed some inhibition by nitrate. Mutant 1029, a revertant of nts382 (an extreme supernodulator), showed a wild-type nodulation pattern and was equally sensitive to nitrate as cv. Bragg. Grafting experiments with cv. Bragg and nts382 indicated that both supernodulation and tolerance of nodulation to nitrate were dependent on shoot factors. Total leaf nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1 and EC 1.6.6.2) activity of the supernodulating mutants was similar to that in cv. Bragg. We conclude from these results that the inhibitory effect of nitrate on nodule initiation and development in soybean depends on an interaction between nitrate and the autoregulation singal. In the supernodulating mutants, the autoregulation signal is either altered or absent and cosequently nodulation in these mutants is not sensitive to nitrate.     

Can genotypes of soybean (Glycine max) selected for nitrate tolerance provide good “models” for studying the mechanism of nitrate inhibition of nitrogenase activity?

In soybeans ( Glycine max L. Merr.), high levels of soil nitrate inhibit N₂ fixation, and nitrate-tolerant symbioses have been identified within a chemically mutagenized line of cv. Bragg denoted nts382 and within the line K466, a genotype representative of a number of Korean soybean cultivars. The genotypes nts382 and K466 were examined to see if they could be used as a model system for studying the mechanism responsible for the short-term (i.e. 3-day) inhibition of specific nitrogenase activity, especially the mechanism behind the greater O₂ limitation of nodule metabolism that is characteristic of nitrate inhibition of N₂ fixation in soybean. In nts382, total nitrogenase activity (TNA = H₂ production in Ar:O₂) was inhibited to a lesser degree (48% of control) relative to Bragg (30% of control), and the nitrate-treated symbioses showed less of an O₂ limitation of nodule metabolism in nts382 than in Bragg. However, the relative proportion of O₂ limitation to the total nitrate inhibition was similar (40 and 41%) in nts382 and Bragg, respectively. Therefore, the nts382 symbioses may be useful in elucidating the general mechanism for down-regulation of nitrogenase activity in soybean, but would not be a useful model system for studying the control of O₂-limited metabolism following nitrate exposure. The effects of nitrate on TNA and on the degree of O₂ limitation of nodule metabolism were the same in K466 and a reference cultivar Maple Arrow. Consequently, the tolerance of K466 to nitrate reported previously was attributed to the ability of this symbiosis to maintain nodule biomass in the presence of nitrate, not to any ability to maintain specific nitrogenase activity in the presence of nitrate.

Development ofBradyrhizobium infections in supernodulating and non-nodulating mutants of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill)

Summary The early events in the development of nodules induced byBradyrhizobium japonicum were studied in serial sections of a wild type (cv. Bragg), a supernodulating mutant (nts 382) and four non-nodulating mutants (nod49, nod139, nod772, andrj ₁) of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill). Cultivar Bragg responded to inoculation in a similar manner to that described previously for cv. Williams; centres of sub-epidermal cell divisions were observed both with and without associated infection threads and most infection events were blocked before the formation of a nodule meristem. The non-nodulating mutants (nod49, nod772, andrj ₁) had, at most, a few centres of sub-epidermal cell divisions. In general, these were devoid of infection threads and did not develop beyond the very early stages of nodule ontogeny. Sub-epidermal cell divisions or infection threads were never observed on mutant nodl39. This mutant is not allelic to the other non-nodulating mutants and represents a defect in a separate complementation group or gene that is required for nodulation. The supernodulating mutant nts382, which is defective in autoregulation of nodulation, had a similar number of sub-epidermal cell divisions as the wild-type Bragg, but a much greater proportion of these developed to an advanced stage of nodule ontogeny. Mutant nts382, like Bragg, possessed other infection events that were arrested at an early stage of development. The results are discussed in the context of the progression of events in nodule formation and autoregulation of nodulation in soybean.Abbreviations nts nitrate tolerant symbiosis - RT root tip (i.e., position of the tap root tip at the time of inoculation) - SERH shortest emerging root hair (i.e., position of the shortest emerging root hair on the tap root at the time of inoculation) - SCD subepidermal cell divisions     

Soybean Seedling Extracts Inhibit Supernodulation

When soybean (Glycine max ) nodulation mutant nts 382 was inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum, these plants nodulated significantly more than the parental type Bragg. Nts 382 seedlings displayed wild-type nodulation pattern when aqueous extracts of young Bragg shoots were applied to the cultural medium together with nutrient solution. Application of young nts 382 shoot extracts to Bragg seedlings did not result in any apparent increase in nodule number. In graft experiments, young shoots from mutant nts 382 induced supernodulation on Bragg root stocks, while no supernodulation was observed when Bragg seedlings were used as scion and grafted onto nts 382 root stocks. Further, the effectiveness of Bragg plant extracts to suppress supernodulation on nts 382 seedlings was found to depend on the age of the plant material used, being very ineffective with extracts from 60-day-old plants. The age effect was not observed in graft experiments. These findings suggest that soybean supernodulation phenomenon may be controlled by one or a few unknown chemicals or plant hormones.     

Nodule distribution on the roots of soybean and a supernodulating mutant in sand-vermiculite

The distribution of nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivar Bragg and the supernodulating mutant derivative nts382 was examined on the primary root relative to the first emerging lateral root, and on laterals relative to the base of the roots of plants grown in sand-vermiculite. Mutant nts382 nodulates profusely even in the presence of nitrate and appears defective in a systemic autoregulatory response that regulates nodule number in soybean. Nodules were clustered on primary roots about the first 4 cm down from the first emerging lateral root in both genotypes. Nodulation profiles showed reduced nodulation in younger and older regions of the primary root. Similarly, nodules appeared clustered close to the base of the lateral roots. Decreasing inoculum dose shifted nodule emergence to younger regions of the primary root and to lateral roots emerging in younger portions of the primary root. Our results indicate that the supernodulating mutant is able to regulate nodule number in both primary and lateral roots in the particulate matrix.     

Lack of Systemic Suppression of Nodulation in Split Root Systems of Supernodulating Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Mutants

Wild-type soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr. cv Bragg) and a nitrate-tolerant supernodulating mutant (nts382) were grown in split root systems to investigate the involvement of the autoregulation response and the effect of timing of inoculation on nodule suppression. In Bragg, nodulation of the root portion receiving the delayed inoculation was suppressed nearly 100% by a 7-day prior inoculation of the other root portion with Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain USDA 110. Significant suppression was also observed after a 24-hour delay in inoculation. Mutant nts382 in the presence of a low nitrate level (0.5 millimolar) showed little, if any, systemic suppression. Root fresh weights of individual root portions were similar for both wild type and nts382 mutant. When nts382 was grown in the absence of nitrate, a 7-day delay in inoculation resulted in only 30% suppression of nodulation and a significant difference in root fresh weight between the two sides, with the delayed inoculated side always being smaller. Nodulation tests on split roots of nts382, nts1116, and wild-type cultivars Bragg, Williams 82, and Clark demonstrated a difference in their systemic suppression ability. These observations indicate that (a) autoregulation deficiencies in mutant nts382 result in a reduction of systemic suppression of nodulation, (b) some suppression is detectable after 24 hours with a delayed inoculation, (c) the presence of low nitrate affects the degree of suppression and the root growth, and (d) soybean genotypes differ in their ability to express this systemic suppression.
