The Rhizobium leguminosarum bv trifolii exoB gene has been isolated by heterologous complementation of an exoB mutant of R. meliloti. We have cloned a chromosomal DNA fragment from the R. leguminosarum bv trifolii genome that contains an open reading frame of 981 bp showing 80% identity at the amino acid level to the UDP-glucose 4-epimerase
of R. meliloti. This enzyme produces UDP-galactose, the donor of galactosyl residues for the lipid-linked oligosaccharide repeat units of
various heteropolysaccharides of rhizobia. An R. leguminosarum bv trifoliiexoB disruption mutant differed from the wild type in the structure of both the acidic exopolysaccharide and the lipopolysaccharide.
The acidic exopolysaccharide made by our wild-type strain is similar to the Type 2 exopolysaccharide made by other R. leguminosarum bv trifolii wild types. The exopolysaccharide made by the exoB mutant lacked the galactose residue and the substitutions attached to it. The exoB mutant induced the development of abnormal root nodules and was almost completely unable to invade plant cells. Our results
stress the importance of exoB in the Rhizobium-plant interaction.

Detailed individual nodulation profiles were obtained for five strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii inoculated onto roots of Trifolium repens seedlings growing on an agar medium of pH 4.5. The time of appearance and the location of every nodule were noted for a period
of 10 days after inoculation. Using these nodulation frequency profiles, pairings of strains were identified and six mixed-strain
inoculation (1:1 ratio) experiments were subsequently performed at pH 4.5. Results from the mixed-inoculum experiments showed
that the performance of a Rhizobium strain in single culture could not be reliably used to predict the outcome of a paired-inoculation study and that some seedlings
were exclusively nodulated by rhizobia that performed poorly at low pH in single-culture inoculations.

To study a possible adaptation of the symbiosis between white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii with regard to light and temperature at northern latitudes, local seed populations of white clover and isolates of R. leguminosarum biovar trifolii from 3 different latitudes in Norway, 58°48'N, 67°20'N and 69°22'N, were used. The commercial cultivar Undrom was used as a reference plant. The experiments were done at 18 and 9°C under controlled conditions in a phytotron during the natural growing season at 69° 39'N. Growth of the plants was evaluated by number and size of leaves, dry matter production and total N-content. At 18°C the white clover plants were harvested twice while at 9°C there was only one growth period. The results from first harvest at 18°C and total growth at 9°C, showed that white clover populations from northern Norway had a lower growth potential than the population from the south and cv. Undrom. This difference was not apparent in the second growth period at 18°C. Growth of the plants from seeds to first harvest was enhanced by mineral nitrogen compared to plants dependent on Rhizobium only. However, after a second growth period dry weight and total nitrogen content of the plants with nitrogen fixation were comparable to the plants receiving mineral nitrogen. Statistical analysis showed that the most important factor for the variation in dry matter production was the plant population. Within the populations at 9°C and at first harvest at 18°C, there were no significant differences in dry matter production with different Rhizobium inoculum. In the second growth period at 18°C, different inoculum gave significantly different amount of dry matter within a population. The results showed a significant interaction between plant population and Rhizobium inoculum, and the results indicated that plants from the north gave higher yield when nodulated by Rhizobium from the north than from the south. 相似文献

Abstract Nitrate uptake into intact pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L. cv. Feltham First) grown in hydroponic culture has been investigated. Following inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum a twofold increase in net nitrate uptake was observed. Changes in morphological characteristics following inoculation were found to decrease the effective area available for absorption. There was a two-fold decrease in net nitrate uptake into intact seedlings grown in the presence of N compared with N free media. In the former case net nitrate uptake appeared to stall at regular intervals. In both cases only the initial rates of nitrate uptake were found to be responsive to the external nitrate concentration. The results are discussed in terms of current models for the regulation of NO?3 uptake by higher plants. 相似文献

Symbiosomes were obtained from mature pea (Pisum sativum cv. Argona) root nodules infected with a Rhizobium leguminosarum strain (biov. viciae 3841) and purified using an aqueous polymer two-phase system (APS). The APS consists of a mixture of polymers, usually dextran T500 and poly(ethylene glycol) 3350, prepared as aqueous solutions on a weight per weight basis, where each fraction distributes according to their surface characteristics. Results of ATPase activity, cytochrome c oxidase activity, glucan synthase II activity, NAD(P)H-cytochrome c reductase activity, NO3−-sensitive ATPase activity, transport of [14C]malate vs. [14C]glutamate and MAC 57 antigen analysis showed that the APS method provided intact symbiosomes with low bacteroid, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and/or mitochondria contamination. No complicated equipment is needed and the method was simple and fast, compared with other purification techniques. 相似文献

Spontaneous mutants of Rhizobium trifolii 24AR5 which did not produce exopoly-saccharide were isolated. The non-mucoid mutants formed small white and ineffective nodules on both red and white clover. These nodules contained infection threads, but only a small number of bacteria were released into nodule cells, and bacteroids were rarely observed. The non-mucoid phenotype was not complemented by the symbiotic plasmid (pJB5JI) of Rhizobium leguminosarum. 相似文献

Ryegrass, white clover and Rhizobium isolated from the corresponding clover nodules, were harvested from a natural pasture in the Massif Central mountains (France).
The specificity between Lolium, Trifolium and Rhizobium, and the genetic diversity of Rhizobium were examined. This study showed that:
1) Natural neighbouring combinations of white clover and ryegrass, re-planted together in pots, accumulated a higher biomass
than non-neighbouring ones. This increase of mass is higher in the presence of the native strain of Rhizobium.
2) When white clover was inoculated with a mixture of Rhizobium strains, nodules were more often formed by its native strain.
3) The genetical diversity of the Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii was very high, as revealed by electrophoresis of esterases on seven substrates.
These results support the hypothesis that there is a co-adaptation between white clover, ryegrass and Rhizobium

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae genotypes interact with pea plants in developmental responses of nodules, roots and shoots 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The variability of the developmental responses of two contrasting cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum) was studied in relation to the genetic diversity of their nitrogen-fixing symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae. A sample of 42 strains of pea rhizobia was chosen to represent 17 genotypes predominating in indigenous rhizobial populations, the genotypes being defined by the combination of haplotypes characterized with rDNA intergenic spacer and nodD gene regions as markers. We found contrasting effects of the bacterial genotype, especially the nod gene type, on the development of nodules, roots and shoots. A bacterial nod gene type was identified that induced very large, branched nodules, smaller nodule numbers, high nodule biomass, but reduced root and aerial part development. The plants associated with this genotype accumulated less N in shoots, but N concentration in leaves was not affected. The results suggest that the plant could not control nodule development sustaining the energy demand for nodule functioning and its optimal growth. The molecular and physiological mechanisms that may be involved are discussed. 相似文献

Rhizobial siderophore as an iron source for clover 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Iron uptake by clover plants ( Trifoliuin pratense L. cv. Hruszowska) was studied using radioactive ferric iron (55 FeCl2 ). As shown by autoradiography of non-infected plants, purified rhizobial siderophore isolated from Rhizobium leguminosarum by, trifolii , stimulated the uptake and shoot transport of iron. Addition of rhizobial siderophore into the growth medium of nodulated clover did not affect the iron transport to the shoots. In the absence of the rhizobial siderophore, clover infected by either nitrogen-fixing (Nod− Fix+ ) or nonfixing (Nod+ Fix− ) R. L. trifolii strains took up and transported into the shoots more iron than the non-infected control plants. Nodulated clover reduced Fe(III) more efficiently than the non-infected control plants. 相似文献

Endogenous phenolic compounds (PC) affecting Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viceae propagation were isolated from the roots of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings before and within one or two day after inoculation. It was established that, during the first day after inoculation, PC-induced stimulation of bacterial growth in roots was replaced by its inhibition, which was somewhat more pronounced at 8°C. The ratio between PC fractions was also changed during the first day after inoculation, especially strongly at low temperature; and this was evidently the cause for Rhizobium growth inhibition in root cells. 相似文献

The symbiotic relationships between legumes and their nitrogen (N(2))-fixing bacterial partners (rhizobia) vary in effectiveness to promote plant growth according to both bacterial and legume genotype. To assess the selective effect of host plant on its microsymbionts, the influence of the pea (Pisum sativum) genotype on the relative nodulation success of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv) genotypes from the soil populations during plant development has been investigated. Five pea lines were chosen for their genetic variability in root and nodule development. Genetic structure and diversity of Rlv populations sampled from nodules were estimated by molecular typing with a marker of the genomic background (rDNA intergenic spacer) and a nodulation gene marker (nodD region). Differences were found among Rlv populations related to pea genetic background but also to modification of plant development caused by single gene mutation. The growth stage of the host plant also influenced structuring of populations. A particular nodulation genotype formed the majority of nodules during the reproductive stage. Overall, modification in root and nodule development appears to strongly influence the capacity of particular rhizobial genotypes to form nodules. 相似文献

Abstract Plasmid-minus derivatives of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii have been isolated. Cured strains lacked symbiotic properties, however they showed increased heavy metal resistance. In the presence of 70 ppm chromium the parent strain, unlike cured derivatives, is unable to grow explanta but can nevertheless nodulate clover.
We propose that rhizobia can circumvent exposure to the heavy metal by entering the plant roots.
Acetylene reduction tests showed that nodulated plants, grown in the presence of 10 ppm of chromium, had an increased nitrogenase activity compared to the control plants. 相似文献

Pea mutants for nodulation have been obtained by treating seeds with ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) followed by 2 screening procedures. In one, mutants resistant to nodulation (nod−), or with ineffective nodules (nod+, fix−) were obtained, whilst in the other 4 hypernodulated mutants (nod++) with 5–10 times more nodules than cv. Frisson and expressing a character of nitrate tolerant symbiosis (nts) were discovered. All mutations are under the control of single recessive genes. (nod−), (nod+, fix−) and (nod++, nts) mutations result from mutation events at 6, 7 and 1 different loci respectively.
Grafting experiments showed the (nod−) and (nod+, fix−) phenotypes are associated with the root genotypes and that (nod++, nts) phenotype is associated with the shoot genotype. 相似文献

It has been demonstrated previously that field pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Express) grown in hydroponic culture on a complete nutrient solution with low NH4+ concentrations (<0.5 mM) will produce a larger than normal proliferation of nodules. Peas grown in the absence of mineral N in hydroponic culture have been shown to rapidly autoregulate nodulation, forming a static nodule number by 14 to 21 days after planting. The present study further characterizes the effect of NH4+ concentration in hydroponic culture on nodulation and nodule growth. Peas were grown continually for 4 weeks at NH4+ concentrations that were autoregulatory (0.0 mM), stimulatory (0.2 mM) or inhibitory (1.0 mM), or peas were transferred between autoregulatory or NH4+ inhibited and stimulatory solutions after 2 weeks. The peas nodulated as expected when grown under constant autoregulatory, stimulatory or inhibitory concentrations of NH4+. When peas were transferred from the inhibitory (1.0 mM) to the stimulatory solution (0.2 mM) a massive proliferation of nodule primordia over the entire root system was observed within 3 days of the transfer. When they were transferred from the autoregulatory (0.0 mM) to the stimulatory (0.2 mM) solution a 10-day delay occurred before a proliferation in nodule primordia occurred at distal regions of the root system. These findings support our hypothesis that low concentrations (<1.0 mM) of NH4+ in hydroponic culture cause a suppression of autoregulation in pea. In addition, the temporal and spatial differences in nodule proliferation between transfer treatments demonstrate at a whole plant level that autoregulation and NH4+ inhibition suppress early nodule development via different mechanisms. 相似文献

Carbon and nitrogen partitioning in young nodulated pea (wild type and nitrate reductase-deficient mutant) plants exposed to NH4 NO3 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Carbon and nitrogen partitioning was examined in a wild-type and a nitrate reductase-deficient mutant (A317) of Pisum sativum L. (ev. Juneau), effectively inoculated with two strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum (128C23 and 128C54) and grown hydroponically in medium without nitrogen for 21 days, followed by a further 7 days in medium without and with 5 mM NH4 NO3 . In wild-type symbioses the application of NH4 NO3 significantly reduced nodule growth, nitrogenase (EC 1.7.99.2) activity, nodule carbohydrates (soluble sugars and starch) and allocation of [14 C]-labelled (NO3 − , NH4 + , amino acids) in roots. In nodules, there was a decline in amino acids together with an increase in inorganic nitrogen concentration. In contrast, symbioses involving A317 exhibited no change in nitrogenase activity or nodule carbohydrates, and the concentrations of all nitrogenous solutes measured (including asparagine) in roots and nodules were enhanced. Photosynthate allocation to the nodule was reduced in the 128C23 symbiosis. Nitrite accumulation was not detected in any case. These data cannot be wholly explained by either the carbohydrate deprivation hypothesis or the nitrite hypothesis for the inhibition of symbiotic nitrogen fixation by combined nitrogen. Our result with A317 also provided evidence against the hypothesis that NO3 − and NH4 + or its assimilation products exert a direct effect on nitrogenase activity. It is concluded that more than one legume host and Rhizobium strain must be studied before generalizations about Rhizobium /legume interactions are made. 相似文献

Effect of nitrogen supply on frost resistance, nitrogen metabolism and carbohydrate content in white clover (Trifolium repens) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Effects of mineral nitrogen (2, 4, 6 and 8 m M NH4 NO3 ) and nodulation with Rhizobium on frost hardiness in seedlings of white clover ( Trifolium repens ) have been studied. Seedlings of a population from Bodø (67°N lat.) were grown in Leonard jars under controlled conditions in a phytotron. For induction of frost hardening, plants were first exposed to 12 h photoperiod conditions for 2 weeks at 18°C, then for 2 weeks at 6°C and finally for 2 weeks at 0.5°C. Frost hardiness after treatments at 6 and 0.5°C was significantly enhanced by increasing nitrogen supply and was positively correlated with total nitrogen content of the stolons. Frost hardiness of nodulated plants correlated to the tissue nitrogen concentration. Content of soluble proteins in stolons decreased during hardening at 6°C but did not change during treatment at 0.5°C. There were minor changes in total amount of free amino acids during hardening. Both absolute and relative amounts of proline and arginine increased, and those of asparagine decreased during hardening. Absolute amounts of all free amino acids increased with increasing nitrogen supply, but the changes during hardening were similar in all treatments. There was a significant increase in the content of soluble carbohydrates during hardening. However, this increase was inversely related to nitrogen supply. 相似文献

Genetic resistance to vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhiza formation has been obtained in spontaneous or chemically induced mutants of two mycorrhiza-forming species (Pisum sativum L. and Vicia faba L.). The eight mutants, termed myc−, are characterized by aborted infections limited to one or two host cells. Expression of the myc− character is associated with that of the nod− character in both legumes, and is likewise under recessive genetic control. Preliminary analysis of the genetic behaviour of the myc− mutants in diallel crosses has shown that at least three genes are involved in VA mycorrhiza infection. 相似文献

Abstract The roots of pea (Pisum sativum L. ev. Feltham First) seedlings contained haemagglutinating activity and a protein which reacted with antibodies directed against pea seed lectin. This protein was shown to be present on the surface of root hairs and in the root cortical cells by immunofluorescence. Lectin (haemagglutinin) was purified from pea seedling roots by both immunoaffinity chromatography and affinity chromatography on Sephadex G-100. The pea root lectin was similar to the seed lectin when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was antigenically identical: however, the isoelectric focussing band patterns of the proteins differed. The sugar specificity of the root lectin differed from that of the seed lectin, and the haemagglutinating activity of the root lectin was less than the seed lectin. These results are discussed with reference to the hypothesis that lectins mediate in the symbiotic association of legume and Rhizobium through their carbohydrate-binding properties. 相似文献

For over 7 centuries, production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Egypt has benefited from rotation with Egyptian berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum). The nitrogen supplied by this rotation replaces 25- 33% of the recommended rate of fertilizer-N application for rice production. This benefit to the rice cannot be explained solely by an increased availability of fixed N through mineralization of N- rich clover crop residues. Since rice normally supports a diverse microbial community of internal root colonists, we have examined the possibility that the clover symbiont, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii colonizes rice roots endophytically in fields where these crops are rotated, and if so, whether this novel plant-microbe association benefits rice growth. MPN plant infection studies were performed on macerates of surface-sterilized rice roots inoculated on T. alexandrinum as the legume trap host. The results indicated that the root interior of rice grown in fields rotated with clover in the Nile Delta contained 106 clover-nodulating rhizobial endophytes g fresh weight of root. Plant tests plus microscopical, cultural, biochemical, and molecular structure studies indicated that the numerically dominant isolates of clover-nodulating rice endophytes represent 3 – 4 authentic strains of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii that were Nod Fix on berseem clover. Pure cultures of selected strains were able to colonize the interior of rice roots grown under gnotobiotic conditions. These rice endophytes were reisolated from surface-sterilized roots and shown by molecular methods to be the same as the original inoculant strains, thus verifying Koch's postulates. Two endophytic strains of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii significantly increased shoot and root growth of rice in growth chamber experiments, and grain yield plus agronomic fertilizer N-use efficiency of Giza-175 hybrid rice in a field inoculation experiment conducted in the Nile Delta. Thus, fields where rice has been grown in rotation with clover since antiquity contain Fix strains of R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii that naturally colonize the rice root interior, and these true rhizobial endophytes have the potential to promote rice growth and productivity under laboratory and field conditions. 相似文献
