Results GunA from S. fredii HH103 shows cellulase activity and is secreted through the T3SS in response to the inducer flavonoid genistein. Interestingly, at the beggining of the symbiotic process, GunA was partially responsible for the induction of the expression of the soybean GmPR1 gene, a gene used as a marker for plant defense responses....

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 RifR, a broad-host-range rhizobial strain, forms ineffective nodules with Lotus japonicus but induces nitrogen-fixing nodules in Lotus burttii roots that are infected by intercellular entry. Here we show that HH103 RifR nolR or nodD2 mutants gain the ability to induce infection thread formation and to form...
