Legumes establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia through root nodules to acquire nitrogen. Legumes control nodule number through systemic (autoregulation of nodulation) as well as local regulation. Moreover, plants defend themselves against bacteria and other pathogens through the induction of localized (localized acquired resistance) and systemic (SAR, systemic acquired resistance; ISR, induced systemic resistance) responses. Herein, we show that the number of root nodules is suppressed by programmed cell death (PCD), and is simultaneously controlled by SAR and ISR in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The wild-type soybean cultivar Williams 82 showed markedly fewer root nodule primordia and PCD symptoms, including accelerated DNA degradation, enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (visualized by 3,3′-diaminobenzidine staining), and excessive cell death (detected on staining with trypan blue) compared to the hypernodulation mutant NOD1-3. These results suggest that PCD suppresses the formation of root nodules in wild-type soybean. In addition, microarray and gene ontology analyses showed that essential components of hypersensitive response (HR) or disease resistance, such as resistance (R) genes, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, SAR, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene, etc., were activated in wild-type plants. These analyses corroborate the above findings, demonstrating that the suppression of root nodule formation by PCD is accompanied by HR, and is simultaneously controlled by SAR and ISR in soybean. These findings provide new insight into the control of nodulation to balance nutritional requirements and energy status in legumes.  相似文献

The roots of soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) establish symbiosis with nodule-inducing rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The existing nodules systemically suppress subsequent nodule formation, a phenomenon known as autoregulation. Grafting experiments revealed that some forms of autoregulation are controlled by the shoot. In the present study, we examined shoot-controlled regulation of AM fungal colonization using a reciprocal grafting technique. Ten-day-old seedlings of wild-type soybean cv. Enrei and its hypernodulating mutant En6500 were cut below the cotyledons and the shoots were grafted to self or reciprocal roots. Grafted seedlings were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Gigaspora rosea and grown in a glasshouse for 60 days. The arbuscule abundance of the En6500 (shoot)/En6500(root) graft was 1.5-fold higher than that of the Enrei/Enrei graft. In grafts between Enrei and En6500, an increased arbuscule abundance was detected only when En6500 was used as the shoot. The arbuscule abundance of Enrei/En6500 when Enrei was used as the shoot was comparable to that of Enrei/Enrei. The intensity of AM fungal colonization was lower in Enrei/En6500 than in the other grafting treatments. From the results obtained, we suggest that soybean shoots systemically control arbuscule formation in both AM symbiosis and nodule formation.  相似文献

Abstract

The roots of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) establish symbiosis with nodule-inducing rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The existing nodules systemically suppress subsequent nodule formation, a phenomenon known as autoregulation. Grafting experiments revealed that some forms of autoregulation are controlled by the shoot. In the present study, we examined shoot-controlled regulation of AM fungal colonization using a reciprocal grafting technique. Ten-day-old seedlings of wild-type soybean cv. Enrei and its hypernodulating mutant En6500 were cut below the cotyledons and the shoots were grafted to self or reciprocal roots. Grafted seedlings were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Gigaspora rosea and grown in a glasshouse for 60 days. The arbuscule abundance of the En6500 (shoot)/En6500(root) graft was 1.5-fold higher than that of the Enrei/Enrei graft. In grafts between Enrei and En6500, an increased arbuscule abundance was detected only when En6500 was used as the shoot. The arbuscule abundance of Enrei/En6500 when Enrei was used as the shoot was comparable to that of Enrei/Enrei. The intensity of AM fungal colonization was lower in Enrei/En6500 than in the other grafting treatments. From the results obtained, we suggest that soybean shoots systemically control arbuscule formation in both AM symbiosis and nodule formation.  相似文献

Results of grafting experiments between super-nodulation (or hyper-nodulation) mutants of soybean and their parents reconfirmed that super nodulation is a shoot-controlled phenomenon, suggesting that a systemic regulatory mechanism acts in soybean plants and a specific nodulation-controlling substance (SNS) is synthesized in the shoot and transported to the roots. To search for the SNS involved in the super-nodulation trait of NOD1-3, a mutant of soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Williams), we adopted a bioassay system using plantlets derived from the first trifoliate leaf of the seedlings; this system enabled us to introduce liquid substances continuously into leaves and to assess their effect on root nodulation. Following the application of leaf extract from Williams82 plants lacking visible root nodules, formation of root nodule meristems in NOD1-3 plantlets was repressed on the sixth day after rhizobial inoculation and the number of visible nodules on the eighth day declined to the same level as that in the Williams82 plantlets. Application of NOD1-3 leaf extract resulted in no significant change in the nodulation of both NOD1-3 and Williams82 plantlets. These results suggested that the SNS is a downregulator of nodulation and is responsible for the wild-type (Williams82) phenotype, and that the super-nodulation phenomenon is caused by a paucity of the SNS. The intensity of the repressive effect of the Williams82 leaf extract was not changed by nodulation of the source plants, thus we conclude that visible nodule formation is not required to induce production of the SNS.  相似文献

Sufficient rhizobium population in the rhizosphere of legume seedlings is required for early and enough setting of root nodules. Potential of seed and seedling root exudates for proliferation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum PNT119 was evaluated in the soybean cvs. Enrei and Tachinagaha. In both cultivars, seed exudates showed a higher potential than root exudates. In the seed exudates, a low-molecular high-polarity fraction including sugars and amino acids showed a higher potential than both high-molecular fraction and low-molecular low-polarity fraction. The correlations between the sugar or amino acid contents of seed exudates and the number of root nodule primordia at 7 d after sowing were investigated among 12 soybean cultivars. When seeds were inoculated with a low rhizobium density, a high correlation coefficient was detected between them. However, there was no positive correlation in the plants inoculated with a high rhizobium density. These results suggest that the amount of low molecular substances in the seed exudates determines the number of root nodule primordia through rhizobium proliferation around seed and young roots when the rhizobium density is the limiting factor. The genetic trait relating to seed coat secretion should be considered as a possible key factor contributing to adequate root nodulation in soybean seedlings cultivated in fields with a low rhizobium density.  相似文献

Soybean plants autoregulate to suppress excessive nodulation. It has been revealed recently that the autoregulation of various legumes controls both nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization. We investigated the involvement of autoregulation in the interaction between rhizobial nodulation and AM fungal colonization. We used a wild-type soybean cv. Enrei and its hypernodulating mutant Kanto100, defective in the autoregulation. We included four different treatments: an uninoculated control, inoculation with rhizobium Bradyrhizobium japonicum alone, inoculation with AM fungus Gigaspora rosea alone, and dual inoculation with rhizobium and AM fungus. In both Enrei and Kanto100, AM fungal colonization enhanced the weight and N2 fixation of nodules, suggesting that autoregulation of host plant is not involved in the stimulatory effect of AM fungal colonization on rhizobial nodulation. In plants with the AM fungus alone, the AM fungal colonization of Enrei was comparable to that of Kanto100. In plants with dual inoculation, however, this was significantly (P?<?0.05) lower than in Kanto100. To confirm the control of AM fungal colonization by the autoregulation of host plant, a reciprocal grafting experiment was performed between Enrei and Kanto100. In plants with the AM fungus alone, AM fungal colonization was comparable among Enrei (shoot)/Enrei (root), Enrei/Kanto100, Kanto100/Enrei, and Kanto100/Kanto100 grafts. In plants with dual inoculation, however, AM fungal colonization of Enrei/Enrei and Enrei/Kanto100 grafts was significantly (P?<?0.05) lower than that of Kanto100/Enrei and Kanto100/Kanto100. These results indicate that rhizobial nodulation suppresses AM fungal colonization, and the autoregulation of host plant, initiated by nodulation, is involved in this phenomenon.  相似文献

A pot experiment was conducted under growth chamber conditions to determine the lower and upper critical levels of boron (B) for plant growth, nodule development, and nodule acetylene reduction activity (ARA) in young soybean plants. Plants of a soybean cultivar, Tachinagaha, were grown in pots containing river sand to which a nutrient solution with different B levels was added and were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum A1017. At 8, 12, and 16 d after sowing (DAS), among the plants supplied with the solution at 0, 1.0, and 2.0 mg B L-1 , plants with 1.0 mg B L-1 showed the highest values for dry shoot and fresh root weight, root length, total number of developing nodules and meristematic nodules (DMN), and ARA. At 20 DAS plants grown with 11 B levels (0-2.0 mg L-1) were compared. The B critical deficiency levels for soybean dry shoot weight, fresh root weight, root length, DMN, number of complete nodules, and ARA were approximately 46, 35, 34, 57, 60, and 50 mg B kg-1 dry matter, and the critical toxicity levels were approximately 114, 137, 134, 97, 104, and 89 mg B kg-1 dry matter, respectively. The optimum B levels for the growth characters were approximately 34 to 137 mg B kg-1 dry matter. The optimum range of B levels for nodule formation and function was more restricted than that for the growth characters. Based on the results of treatments with various B concentrations, 0.4 mg B L-1 was found to be the concentration most beneficial for all the growth characters including nodule formation at the early stage (20 DAS) of development of soybean plants.  相似文献

Soybean plant is characterized by a systemic autoregulatory control system of nodulation (autoregulation) by initial infection with rhizobia, and plants commonly display a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) to pathogenic microbe infection related to salicylic acid (SA) signal transmission. We investigated the effect of exogenous SA supply on soybean nodulation to determine whether SA affects the autoregulation of nodulation. Seedlings of the hypernodulating mutants NOD1-3, NOD2-4 and their parent cv. Williams were treated or not treated (control) with a 100 μmS-SA solution at 5 d before the inoculation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain USDA110. The nodule dry weight and the number of nodules of the wild type soybean Williams exhibiting autoregulation drastically decreased by the addition of 100 μm SA. The decrease in the nodule number was not caused by the reduction of the rhizobium number in the medium. Salicylic acid inhibited only early nodule formation and did not affect the growth of formed nodules. The inhibitory effect of SA on the nodulation of NOD1-3 and NOD2-4 was significantly less pronounced than that in Williams. These results indicate that SA is directly involved in signal transmission in the autoregulation, and that SA or the SAR induced by SA stimulates the autoregulation of nodulation in soybean.  相似文献

To characterize the regulation site and manner of the abundant nodulation in the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cv. Kitamusume, three grafting eperiments were carried out as follows: reciprocal wedge grafting and inter-cultivar approach grafting between Kitamusume and a normal nodulating cultivar, Toyosuzu, as well as wedge grafting of scions of the supernodulating mutant En6500 onto either Kitamusume or Toyosuzu rootstock. In the reciprocal wedge grafting, the number of nodules per shoot dry weight and average weight per nodule in the grafted plants were consistent with those exhibited by the genotype of their rootstocks. Approach grafting did not affect the number of nodules per shoot dry weight on either side of the inter-cultivar approachgrafted plant. Although grafting of the mutant scion resulted in the loss of the autoregulatory response from the roots of both cultivars, difference in the number of nodules per g shoot dry weight still remained between the two cultivars. These results suggested that the abundant nodulation in Kitamusume is controlled by the root in a non-systemic manner and is independent of the autoregulation mechanism.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

We compared the protein and oil contents, seed yields, and natural abundance of 15N (σ15N) of seeds from the plants of the cultivar Enrei, which has moderate nodulating ability (Enrei) with those of its two near-isogenic lines (NILs), a super-nodulating genotype of Enrei, i.e., En-b0-1, and a non-nodulating genotype of Enrei, i.e., En1282. Plants of these three genotypes were grown on four types of field plots with different types of urea coated slow-release nitrogen (N) fertilizers (CUSLNFs) which delivered N in different manners during plant growth . The seed yield of the En1282 plants was similar to that of the Enrei plants but much greater than that of the En-b0-1 plants when the plants were grown on the field to which a CUSLNF with a long lifespan was applied. The amounts of protein per seed were positively correlated with those of oil per seed in the case of En1282 plants irrespective of the field N conditions. The seed protein contents were proportional to the seed weight in both En1282 and Enrei plants. Such a relationship was not observed in the En-b0-1 plants, and the protein and oil contents in the seeds of En-b0-1 plants were negatively correlated with each other. These observations suggested that the N supply to maturing seeds was a key to the protein contents in the En1282 and Enrei plants and that the C supply to maturing seeds was a key to the protein contents in the En-b0-1 plants. The comparison of the σ15N values, protein contents, and seed yields of seeds from En1282 plants suggested that the Enrei plants assimilated considerable amounts of N from the soil during the late plant growth. We concluded that high N2 fixation activity depressed the amounts of oil per seed and changed the protein and oil contents in soybean seeds.  相似文献

Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of nitrogen (N) sources [urea + ?N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide, NBPT (urease inhibitor) and polymer-coated urea (PCU)] and rates on soybean root characteristics, nodule formation, and biomass production on two soil types (silt loam and clay) commonly cropped to soybean in Mississippi. About 15% less belowground biomass was produced in clay soil than in silt loam soil directly corresponding to all other root parameters including root length, root area, root diameter, and nodule number. Pooled across N rates, N additions resulted in 19% and 52% decrease in belowground biomass and number of nodules, respectively, across soils compared to soybean receiving no N. The N rate was the most critical factor as it influenced all root growth parameters. Number of nodules were 24% greater with PCU than urea + NBPT. Nitrogen additions and clay soil negatively impacted soybean root growth, nodulation, and belowground biomass production.

The potential enhancement of root growth and nodulation in vegetable soybean (AGS190) was studied with application of Azospirillum brasilense (Sp7) and A. lipoferum (CCM3863) co-inoculated with two Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains (TAL102 and UPMR48). Significant root growth stimulation and nodulation were observed in Azospirillum as well as during its co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium. Nodule formation is linked with the initiation of new roots; nodules were almost absent even in Bradyrhizobium inoculated plant due to the absence of new roots development in clipped rooted seedlings. Total root length, root number, specific root length, root dry matter, root hair development and shoot dry matter were significantly increased by Azospirillum alone and its co-inoculum. Co-inoculated plants significantly influenced the number of nodules and its fresh weight. A. brasilense seemed to perform better in root growth and nodule development compared to A. lipoferum.  相似文献

Denitrification by Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteroids contributes to nitric oxide (NO) production within soybean nodules in response to flooding conditions. However, the physiological relevance of NO production by denitrification in B. japonicum-Glycine max symbiosis is still unclear. In this work, soybean plants were inoculated with B. japonicum strains lacking the nirK or norC genes which encode the copper-containing nitrite reductase and the c-type nitric oxide reductase enzymes, respectively. 14 days flooding increased nodule number of plants inoculated with the WT and norC strains, but not of plants inoculated with the nirK mutant. However, nodule dry weight was not affected by 14 days flooding regardless of the strain used for inoculation. Supporting this observation, individual nodule growth was significantly higher in plants inoculated with nirK than those inoculated with WT or norC after 14 days flooding. Nodule functioning was strongly inhibited by flooding since leghemoglobin content of the nodules induced by any of the strains was significantly decreased after 7 or 14 days flooding compared to control plants. However, this effect was more relevant in nodules of plants inoculated with the WT or norC mutant than in those inoculated with the nirK mutant. Nitrogen fixation was also estimated by analyzing nitrogen content derived from biological nitrogen fixation in shoots, using the 15N isotope dilution technique. By using this approach, we observed that the negative effect of 14 days flooding on nitrogen fixation was more pronounced in plants inoculated with the norC mutant. However, nitrogen fixation of plants inoculated with nirK showed the highest tolerance to 14 days flooding. These findings allowed us to demonstrate the previously proposed hypothesis which suggests that NO formed by copper-containing nitrite reductase in soybean nodules, in response to flooding, has a negative effect on nitrogenase activity. We propose that inoculation of soybeans with a B. japonicum nirK mutant, which does not produce NO from nitrate, increases the tolerance of symbiotic nitrogen fixation to flooding.  相似文献

The hypernodulation soybean mutant lines (NOD1-3, NOD2-4, NOD3-7) and their parent Williams, and the mutant En6500 and its parent Enrei were cultivated in a sandy dune field in Niigata, and the nodules and root bleeding xylem sap were sampled at 50, 70, 90, and 120 d after planting (DAP). The nodule size distribution patterns and concentration of leghemoglobin components were determined. The number of nodules of the hypernodulation mutant lines was about two to three times higher than that of the parent lines irrespective of the sampling date. At 50 DAP the nodule size was relatively smaller in the hypernodulation mutant lines, and the total dry weight of the nodules was almost the same in the mutant lines and their parents. At 70 DAP and 90 DAP, the size distribution of the hypernodulation mutant nodules became .almost the same as that of the parent lines, and both the number and total dry weight of the nodules were higher than those of the parent lines. The concentration of four Lb components was separately measured by capillary electrophoresis. The concentration of the Lb components in the hypernodulation mutant lines tended to be lower than in the parents, but the component ratios were not different between the hypernodulation mutants and their parents. Under field conditions, plant growth and nodulation characteristics were more similar between mutants and parents than in the hydroponic culture reported previously, although the mutants did exhibit hypernodulation traits. These findings suggest that the decrease in the Lb concentration and the different Lb components ratios in the mutants may be caused by secondary effects of excess nodulation, such as photosynthate deficiency, rather than by a genetic defect in mutation. The concentration of major nitrogenous compounds (allantoic acid, allantoin, asparagine, aspartic acid, and nitrate) in the xylem sap was also measured by capillary electrophoresis. The concentration of ureides and nitrate in xylem sap decreased with the plant age, but the asparagine concentration increased during the same period. The concentrations of ureides and asparagine were higher, and the nitrate concentration was lower in the mutant lines than in their parents, possibly due to the higher dependence on N2 fixation than N03 - utilization. In the xylem sap, nitrate was the major inorganic anion followed by phosphate, sulfate, and chloride, and potassium was the major cation followed by calcium or magnesium and sodium.  相似文献

【目的】施氮可以促进大豆生长并提高产量,同时会抑制根瘤生长和固氮。因此研究大豆对不同形态氮素的吸收、分配及再分配特点,可以为解析大豆氮的转运特性及施氮对根瘤的系统性抑制提供参考。【方法】利用嫁接方法,制备具有两个根部和一个地上部的双根大豆植株,在砂培条件下分别以NO3–和NH4+为氮源设置两种试验处理。试验Ⅰ,一侧施50 mg/L的15NO3– 或15NH4+(A侧),另一侧不施氮 (B侧);试验Ⅱ,一侧施50 mg/L的15NO3– 或15NH4+(A侧),另一侧施同形态的50 mg/L的NO3– 或NH4+(B侧)。于始花期 (R1) 和始粒期 (R5) 取样两次,将植株分为A根、B根、A侧根瘤、B侧根瘤、茎、叶片、叶柄、荚等部位,用于测定15N丰度、干重和氮含量等指标。【结果】试验Ⅰ和试验Ⅱ结果发现,大豆A和B两侧根瘤的15N丰度均高于自然丰度 (0.365%),说明根瘤的生长发育过程中,所需要的氮不是全部来自自身固氮,还需要从根中吸取氮。与试验Ⅰ相比,试验Ⅱ的根瘤固氮率明显下降,表明大豆植株优先吸收利用肥料氮。NO3–与NH4+处理相比,各器官15N丰度均没有显著性差异,说明在50 mg/L的氮浓度下,NO3–和NH4+对大豆的氮营养没有显著差异。试验Ⅰ和试验Ⅱ均发现大豆B侧根及根瘤的15N丰度高于自然丰度 (0.365%),且小于施加的肥料氮的15N丰度 (3.63%),表明A侧根吸收的氮会经地上部转移到B侧的根及根瘤中,即根吸收的肥料氮会以一定的比例运输到地上部,随后会再次重新分配回根及根瘤中。本试验将双根大豆系统中地上部和B侧根及根瘤看成一个氮转移系统,利用15N丰度的差异,构建了R1～R5期地上部向根及根瘤转移氮量的计算方法。经计算发现,当施氮浓度为50 mg/L时,在始花期至始粒期,根来自地上部转移的氮占根部氮积累量的28.4%～40.8%,根瘤来自地上部转移的氮占其氮积累量的14.4%～17.2%。【结论】根瘤生长所需要的氮不是全部来源于自身固氮,有一部分来源于根系吸收的氮。在有肥料氮存在时,大豆植株优先吸收肥料氮。根系吸收的肥料氮以及根瘤固氮被运输到地上部后,会再次重新分配回根及根瘤中。在50 mg/L的氮浓度下,氮素形态 (NO3–和NH4+) 不会影响大豆植株对氮的吸收及分配。  相似文献

We investigated the effects of applying hairy vetch foliage on nodulation and atmospheric nitrogen (N2) fixation in soybean cultivated in three soil types in pot experiments. Soybean plants were grown in Gley Lowland soil (GLS), Non-allophanic Andosol (NAS), and Sand-dune Regosol (SDR) with hairy vetch foliage application in a greenhouse for 45 days. In GLS, the nodule number was not influenced by the application, however, nodule dry weight and N2 fixation activity tended to increase. In NAS and SDR, nodule formation was depressed by foliage application. Soybean plant growth was promoted in GLS and SDR but not in NAS. These promotive effects of hairy vetch foliage application on soybean plant growth in GLS were considered to be mainly caused by the increase in N2 fixation activity of the nodules, whereas it was considered to be mainly caused by the increase in nitrogen uptake activity of the roots in SDR. The varying effects of hairy vetch foliage application on soybean nodulation may be due to soil chemical properties such as pH and cation exchange capacity, which are related to soil texture. Therefore, we conclude that it is important to use hairy vetch for soybean cultivation based on the different effects of hairy vetch on soybean plant growth in different soil types.  相似文献

SymRK and GmFWL1 both play important roles in nodulation. However, during symbiotic development, the details of Nod factor signaling association with the regulation of cell division in nodules are unknown. SymRK, the immediately downstream component of these Nod factor receptors, is central to the Nod factor signaling cascade. In this study, specified RNAi plasmid of GmSymRK was constructed and transformed into soybean roots by agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation. We found that the nodule number decreased substantially in GmSymRK knockdown soybean transgenic roots. Further to study the relationship between GmFWL1 and Nod factor signaling, we analyzed the GmFWL1 expression levels in the GmSymRK RNAi soybean transgenic roots and found that rhizobia inoculation led to substantially reduced GmFWL1 expression in GmSymRK RNAi soybean transgenic roots. Our studies showed that the regulation of cell division was affected by Nod factor signaling during nodule development in soybean, which provides important information toward understanding the functions of GmSymRK and GmFWL1 in symbiotic signaling and nodule development.  相似文献

Field experiments were conducted on a volcanic ash soil with low available Mo and moderate acidity for 4 years to determine thfc responses of soybeans and soybean nodules to Mo application with seed treatment.

Mo application resulted in a 15.7% increase in the average yield of the nodulated varieties over 4 seasons. However, the genetically controlled non-nodulating variety did not respond to Mo under the same experimental conditions. Nodulated plants treated with Mo became increasingly greener from the pre-bloom stage and contained much more N in their tops during the later period of growth and accumulated considerably larger amount of N in seeds produced per unit area. These results are in agreement with the enhancement of N, fixing activity per plant basis during a long period covered from the stage of 2nd trifoliate leaf unfolding to that of seed development. The increase of yield obtained by the Mo application is ascribed to the improvement of N, fixing activity of the root nodules, The enhancement of N, fixing activity was mainly due to a higher activity per unit nodule weight at early itaget and was due to better growth of nodules during the latter half of growth. Nodules on Mo-created plants were characteristically larger size, had lower water contcnt and higher Mo content.

Referring to the data presented by the authors and several other investigators on available Mo in soils, soil pit, and other related factors, discussion is made that the yield response of soybeans to Mo application is expected in a good number of fields in Japan as a result of nodule response leading to the enhancement of symbiotic N, fixation throughout growth.  相似文献

Abstract

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in nodules of legumes depends on the complex interaction between the legume plant and (Brady)Rhizobium bacteria. Nodule formation and nitrogen fixation are closely regulated by both the host plant and the microsymbiont. Plant mutants with altered symbiotic performance are considered to be useful to gain a better understanding of the plant—microbe interactions in the legume—(Brady)Rhizobium symbiosis (Jacobsen 1984; Carroll et al 1985a, b; Park and Buttery 1988; Duc and Messager 1989; Gremaud and Harper 1989). Recently, Carroll et al. (1985a, b) have isolated the supernodulating mutants of the soybean cv. “Bragg,” which display a very large number of nodules and “nitrate-tolerant-symbiotic” (nts) characteristics. More recently, Gremaud and Harper (1989) have also isolated similar mutants from the soybean cv. “Williams.” These mutants not only provide materials that are useful for investigatings on the interaction in the nodule formation processes but also for agricultural practice. In particular, the nitrate-tolerance of these supernodulating mutants (Carroll et al. 1985b; Gremaud and Harper 1989) is useful for their cultivation in Japan where the level of soil nitrogen in fields is generally high. However, the cultivars previously used for the isolation of these mutants cannot adapt easily in Japanese climate due to different Maturity Group. Therefore, we attempted to isolate mutants with altered symbiotic phenotypes from the soybean cultivar “Enrei,” one of the most common cultivars in Japan.  相似文献
