Abstract The effect of drought stress at supraoptimal temperature on free proline and polyamine levels was compared in wild type and transgenic soybean (Glycine max cv. Ibis) plants having increased proline levels. Since glutamate and arginine are precursors of both proline and polyamines, it was assumed that the genetic manipulation of proline levels would also affect the polyamine levels. The proline and spermine concentrations increased, while the putrescine concentration generally decreased or did not change after the treatments in both genotypes. Following drought higher proline and lower spermine levels were detected in the transgenic plants compared to the wild type ones, which could be explained by the increased use of their common precursors for proline biosynthesis in the transgenic plants.

Abstract Background and Aims Nitrogen fixation in legumes requires tight control of carbon and nitrogen balance. Thus, legumes control nodule numbers via an autoregulation mechanism. ‘Autoregulation of nodulation’ mutants super-nodulate and are thought to be carbon-limited due to the high carbon-sink strength of excessive nodules. This study aimed to examine the effect of increasing carbon supply on the performance of super-nodulation mutants. Methods We compared the responses of Medicago truncatula super-nodulation mutants (sunn-4 and rdn1-1) and wild type to five CO2 levels (300-850 μmol mol -1). Nodule formation and N2 fixation were assessed in soil-grown plants at 18 and 42 days after sowing. Key results Shoot and root biomass, nodule number and biomass, nitrogenase activity and fixed-N per plant of all genotypes increased with increasing CO2 concentration and reached the maximum around 700 μmol mol -1. While the sunn-4 mutant showed strong growth-retardation compared to wild-type plants, elevated CO2 increased shoot biomass and total N content of rdn1-1 mutant up to two-fold. This was accompanied by a four-fold increase in nitrogen fixation capacity in the rdn1-1 mutant. Conclusions These results suggest that the super-nodulation phenotype per se did not limit growth. The additional nitrogen fixation capacity of the rdn1-1 mutant may enhance the benefit of elevated CO2 on plant growth and N2 fixation.

ABSTRACT We disrupted the rtxC gene on the chromosome of Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA94 by insertion of a nonpolar aph cartridge. The rtxC mutant, designated ΔrtxC, produced serinol and dihydrorhizobitoxine but no rhizobitoxine, both in culture and in planta. The introduction of cosmids harboring the rtxC gene into the ΔrtxC mutant complemented rhizobitoxine production, suggesting that rtxC is involved in the final step of rhizobitoxine biosynthesis in B. elkanii USDA94. Glycine max cv. Lee inoculated with ΔrtxC or with a null mutant, Δrtx::Ω1, showed no foliar chlorosis, whereas the wild-type strain USDA94 caused severe foliar chlorosis. The two mutants showed significantly less nodulation competitiveness than the wild-type strain on Macroptilium atropurpureum. These results indicate that dihydrorhizobitoxine, the immediate precursor of the oxidative form of rhizobitoxine, has no distinct effect on nodulation phenotype in these legumes. Thus, desaturation of dihydrorhizobitoxine by rtxC-encoded protein is essential for the bacterium to show rhizobitoxine phenotypes in planta. In addition, complementation analysis of rtxC by cosmids differing in rtxC transcription levels suggested that rhizobitoxine production correlates with the amount of rtxC transcript.
