説明

<jats:p> Soybean lectin labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate combined specifically with all but 3 of 25 strains of the soybean-nodulating bacterium <jats:italic>Rhizobium japonicum</jats:italic> . The lectin did not bind to any of 23 other strains representative of rhizobia that do not nodulate soybeans. The evidence suggests that an interaction between legume lectins and <jats:italic>Rhizobium</jats:italic> cells may account for the specificity expressed between rhizobia and host plant in the initiation of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. </jats:p>
