Abstract

In root nodules obtained after infection of leguminous plants with Rhizobium a number of host-encoded nodule-specific proteins, nodulins, are found. Previous studies of the symbiosis between pea (Pisum sativum) and Rhizobium leguminosarum have shown that during nodule development about 30 nodulins can be detected by means of a nodule specific antiserum (Bisseling et al., 1983). Some of these nodulins appear before nitrogen fixation starts, whereas the majority is synthesized during stages of active nitrogen fixation.
