Abstract
Bradyrhizobium japonicum mutant strain NAD163, containing a 30-kb deletion mutant encompassing the hsfA gene, was inoculated onto a broad range of legume species to test host-specificity. Most legume species formed ineffective nodules except Vigna angularis var. Chibopat and Glycine max var. Pureunkong. A hsfA insertion mutant, BjjC211, gave similar results to strain NAD163, implying that many legume species require HsfA for host-specific nitrogen fixation. To determine whether other genes in the deleted region of NAD163 are also necessary, the hsfA gene was conjugally transferred into the NAD163 mutant. The transconjugant formed effective nodules on the host legume plants, which earlier had formed ineffective nodules with mutant NAD163. Thus, we conclude that the hsfA gene in the 30-kb region is the only factor responsible for host-specific nitrogen fixation in legume plants.
