Fig. 1

Effect of GsIMaT2 gene overexpression on soybean root nodulation. Roots and nodules were examined on the 10th and 20th days after rhizobia were inoculated with B. japonicum strain USDA110. Composite plants were generated by transformation with the K599 vector harboring overexpression cassettes for GUS (control) and GsIMaT2. Roots were inoculated with rhizobia. A Root and shoot phenotypes of 10 and 20-d-old G. max plants. B Locations where nodules formed on hairy roots overexpressing 10 and 20-days after rhizobial inoculation. C Nodules developed on secondary roots. D Cross-sections of G. max nodules. Photographs in C and D were taken with a DP-73 microscope camera set (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Scale bars in C and D = 500 μm
