Abstract: | Soluble proteins extracted from the roots of nodulating soybeanGlycine max (L.) Merr. cv. T202] and from roots of the non-nodulatingisoline rj1 of cv. T202 (cv. T201), which had been inoculatedwith Bradyrhizobium japonicum, were analyzed by two-dimensionalpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining, in anattempt to identify polypeptides involved in early stages ofnodulation. Almost identical patterns of polypeptides were generatedby extracts of 3-day-old roots of uninoculated T201 and T202and of inoculated T201 and T202, but a unique spot, correspondingto a polypeptide of 38 kDa was detected in the case of inoculatedroots of T202. Western blotting analysis using "inoculated-T202-rootspecific" antiserum, prepared by titration of antiserum againstproteins from inoculated T202 roots with proteins from inoculatedT201 roots, revealed spots corresponding to polypeptides of26,27, and 33 kDa that were detectable only in the extractsof roots of inoculated T202. However, no unique polypeptidespots were detected in the case of roots of inoculated T201and T202, as compared with those from uninoculated T201 andT202 roots by Western blotting analysis using "inoculated-T201-rootspecific" antiserum prepared by titration of antiserum againstproteins from inoculated T201 roots with proteins from uninoculatedT201 roots.
