To study the molecular responses of the host legume during early stages of
the symbiotic interaction with Rhizobium, we have cloned and characterized
the infection-related early nodulin gene MtENOD12 from Medicago truncatula.
In situ hybridization experiments have shown that, within the indeterminate
Medicago nodule, transcription of the MtENOD12 gene begins in cell layers
of meristematic origin that lie ahead of the infection zone, suggesting
that these cells are undergoing preparation for bacterial infection.
Histochemical analysis of transgenic alfalfa plants that express an
MtENOD12 promoter-[beta]-glucuronidase gene fusion has confirmed this
result and further revealed that MtENOD12 gene transcription occurs as
early as 3 to 6 hr following inoculation with R. meliloti in a zone of
differentiating root epidermal cells which lies close to the growing root
tip. It is likely that this transient, nodulation (nod) gene-dependent
activation of the ENOD12 gene also corresponds to the preparation of the
plant for bacterial infection. We anticlpaie that this extremely precocious
response to Rhizobium will provide a valuable molecular marker for studying
early signal exchange between the two symbiotic organisms.
