Abstract
A plasmid (pMUS248) containing a promoterless tetracycline resistance gene under the control of the Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae nodA gene was constructed. Selection of tetracycline resistance in the abse nce of naringenin allowed the selection of spontaneous Rhizobium mutan ts showing transcriptional activation of nodulation genes in the absen ce of nod-inducers. These mutants were effective on Glycine max.
