- Abstract
Nodules were induced on the non-legume oilseed rape, following enzyme treatment of seedling roots and inoculation with 32H1 or a mixture of R. with Bradyrhizobium 32H1 in the presence of PEG. A Nod− strain of R also induced nodules, but a Nod− strain failed to elicit this response Nodules induced on oilseed rape were morphologically similar, when examined by light microscopy and cryo-scanning electron microscopy, to those induced on roots of white clover by . Transmission electron microscopy showed rhizobia within cells of the nodules These observations are discussed with respect to the extension of symbiosis to non-legumes.
