Figure 5From: Auxin and nitric oxide control indeterminate nodule formationExpression of the rolAp-iaaMtms2 chimeric operon in determinate root nodules. A. Agarose gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR product obtained from total RNA extracted from bean nodules (lane 1) formed by Rhizobium leguminosarum IAA strain. Lane 3, RT-PCR analysis performed on total RNA extracted from bean nodules induced by the control strain. Lanes 2 and 4 reaction without reverse transcriptase performed on total RNA extracted from bean nodules induced by IAA and control strain, respectively. Lane 5, no-template control. B. Number of nodules per plant. The values reported are means ± SE (n = 13). The mean values are not statistically different.Back to article page
