A two-component regulator mediates population-density-dependent expression of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum nodulation genes.
Bradyrhizobium japonicum nod gene expression was previously shown to be population density dependent. Induction of the nod genes is highest at low culture density and repressed at high population densities. This repression involves both NolA and NodD2 and is mediated by an extracellular factor found in B. japonicum conditioned medium. NolA and NodD2 expression is maximal at high population dens...
متن کاملTranscription profiling of soybean nodulation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Legumes interact with nodulating bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia for plant use. This nitrogen fixation takes place within root nodules that form after infection of root hairs by compatible rhizobia. Using cDNA microarrays, we monitored gene expression in soybean (Glycine max) inoculated with the nodulating bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum 4, 8, and 16 days after inocul...
متن کاملNodulation gene regulation and quorum sensing control density-dependent suppression and restriction of nodulation in the Bradyrhizobium japonicum-soybean symbiosis.
The nodulation of Glycine max cv. Lambert and the nodulation-restricting plant introduction (PI) genotype PI 417566 by wild-type Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 is regulated in a population-density-dependent manner. Nodulation on both plant genotypes was suppressed (inhibited) when plants received a high-density inoculum (10(9) cells/ml) of strain USDA110 grown in complex medium, and more nodu...
متن کاملFunctional role of Bradyrhizobium japonicum trehalose biosynthesis and metabolism genes during physiological stress and nodulation.
Trehalose, a disaccharide accumulated by many microorganisms, acts as a protectant during periods of physiological stress, such as salinity and desiccation. Previous studies reported that the trehalose biosynthetic genes (otsA, treS, and treY) in Bradyrhizobium japonicum were induced by salinity and desiccation stresses. Functional mutational analyses indicated that disruption of otsA decreased...
متن کاملThe Bradyrhizobium japonicum nolA gene and its involvement in the genotype-specific nodulation of soybeans.
Several soybean genotypes have been identified which specifically exclude nodulation by members of Bradyrhizobium japonicum serocluster 123. We have identified and sequenced a DNA region from B. japonicum strain USDA 110 which is involved in genotype-specific nodulation of soybeans. This 2.3-kilobase region, cloned in pMJS12, allows B. japonicum serocluster 123 isolates to form nodules on plant...
