Accumulation of the Phytoalexin Glyceollin I in Soybean Nodules Infected by a Bradyrhizobium japonicum nifA Mutant

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: The mutation of the nifA gene of Bradyrhizobium japonicum leads to a pathogenic-like response of the host plant. Soybean nodules induced by the nifA mutant A9 exhibited symptoms of a hypersensitive reaction (HR) normally observed in plant pathogen interactions as localized death of infected cells and the accumulation of the phytoalexin glyceollin I. Little or no glyceollin I was present in nodules elicited by wild type B. japonicum 110 spc 4.
