Abstract
The genus Lupinus comprises approximately 500 plant species widespread in North and South Americas, Africa, and Southern Europe. Reconstruction of lupine phylogeny based on the analysis of symbiosis-related genes, rbcL, and SSU rRNA genes indicates that lupines represent one of the most ancient genera among Papilionideae (Doyle and Doyle, 1997). It is presumed that lupines retained many unique and ancient features. One of such features seems to be a lupinoid type, collar shaped nodule, which shares the characteristics of both determinate and indeterminate nodules (Golinowski et al., 1987). In the course of our studies, we characterised two genes coding for PR10 class proteins. The unique character of these genes can be recognised in distinct expression patterns in different organs as a response to pathogenic or symbiotic bacteria. The linkage between symbiosis and expression of these two genes appears to be especially intriguing. To understand this relationship, the symbiotic region carrying nodulation functions from Bradyrhizobium sp. WM9 (Lupinus) was characterised. Our further objective is to study plant responses using PR10 genes as molecular markers upon inoculation with bacteria carrying mutations in defined nod functions responsible for the host range determination.
