RESUMO
Insertion mutagenesis identified two negatively acting gene loci which restrict the ability of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii TA1 to infect the homologous host Trifolium subterraneum cv. Woogenellup. One locus was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis as the nodM gene, while the other locus, designated csn-1 (cultivar-specific nodulation), is not located on the symbiosis plasmid. The presence of these cultivar specificity loci could be suppressed by the introduction of the nodT gene from ANU843, a related R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain. Other nod genes, present in R. leguminosarum bv. viciae (including nodX) and R. meliloti, were capable of complementing R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii TA1 for nodulation on cultivar Woogenellup. Nodulation studies conducted with F2 seedlings from a cross between cultivar Geraldton and cultivar Woogenellup indicated that a single recessive gene, designated rwt1, is responsible for the Nod- association between strain TA1 and cultivar Woogenellup. Parallels can be drawn between this association and gene-for-gene systems common in interactions between plants and biotrophic pathogens.
