Nodulation of alfalfa by exoB mutants of Rhizobium meliloti occurred without root hair curling or infection thread formation. nod exoB double mutants had the same nodulation deficiency as single nod mutants. Therefore, all the known nod genes are involved in nodule induction by exoB mutants, which apparently occurs via intercellular invasion.
苜蓿中华根瘤菌exoB突变体对苜蓿的结瘤过程在没有根毛卷曲或侵染线形成的情况下发生。nod exoB双突变体具有与单nod突变体相同的结瘤缺陷。因此,所有已知的nod基因都参与了exoB突变体的根瘤诱导,这显然是通过细胞间入侵发生的。
