Reduction of AsE246 affects rhizobia infection. A to D, Infection event observations of GFP-labeled M. huakuii 7653R strain to track the infection events at 9 d after infection. Representative root hair curling observed in (empty vector) control roots: root hair curling (A), IT (B), nodule primordia (C), and nodule (D). E, Frequencies of infection events per root. The data are presented as 16 individual transgenic plants for each construct. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05, Student’s t test) between pairwise comparisons. Bars = 20 µm. [See online article for color version of this figure.]
