Localization of the <i>reb</i> operon expression is inconsistent with that of the R-body production in the stem nodules formed by <i>Azorhizobium caulinodans</i> mutants having a deletion of <i>praR</i>
Abstract:From the infection pockets, infection threads guide the bacteria toward the nodule meristematic zone, wherein the bacteria are released into the host cells and surrounded by a plant-derived peribacteroid membrane (Tsien et al., 1983). The infected host cells are filled with differentiated bacteroids, and the infected area enlarges as the nodule matures (Dreyfus and Dommergues, 1981; Tsien et al., 1983). A. caulinodans can potentially kill the host plant cells by producing R-bodies (Matsuoka et al., 2017b). R-b… Show more
