Abstract
A stable nodulation resistant pea mutant, ‘E2’, was obtained by screening the M2 progeny of EMS-treated Pisum sativum cv. Sparkle. ‘E2’ is resistant to nodulatlon by commercial inoculant and by 33 strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum including four strains infective on the nodulation resistant pea variety ‘Afghanistan’ The mutant allele for nodulation resistance is recessive to the wild-type allele for nodulation; the locus is designated sym-5.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
