EMBO J. 18:1999;4476-4484. The recruitment of components of the mitotic cell division process appears to be crucial for the initiation of rhizobial infection of plant cells. Moreover, nodules are rich in cells that have undergone multiple rounds of endoreduplication associated with an increase in cell size. This important paper implicates ccs52, a plant homologue of APC activators, in mitotic cyclin degradation in the regulation of endoreduplication. Overexpression of ccs52 in yeast triggered mitotic cyclin degradation, cell-division arrest, endoreduplication and cell enlargement. In Medicago, enhanced expression of ccs52 was observed in differentiating cells undergoing endoreduplication. Overexpression of antisense-ccs52 decreased the number of endocycles and the volume of the largest cells.

Mol Plant Microbe Interact. 12:1999;218-222. This paper provides novel evidence for the adaptability of the protein composition of the SM in response to the microsymbiont. A nodule-specific 53 kDa protein (GmNOD53b) is isolated from the SM of soybean nodules and the corresponding cDNA cloned. Protein as well as mRNA expression is reduced in nodules infected with a B. japonicum mutant affected in sipF, a gene encoding a signal peptidase.

74. Vogel J., Somerville S. Isolation and characterization of powdery mildew resistant Arabidopsis mutants. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2000;. in press. The authors describe a mutational approach to identify genes required for compatible interactions between a plant and a biotrophic pathogen. Four loci were identified as mutations that affect the growth of normally compatible Erysiphe on Arabidopsis leaves. The mutants do not exhibit constitutive defence gene activation, suggesting more specific resistance mechanisms. As the genome of Arabidopsis has been completely sequenced, the positional cloning of the corresponding genes should be straightforward.

Many endosymbiotic fungi, such as powdery mildew fungi, are obligate biotrophs and as such cannot complete their life cycle without a living host. The authors of this paper describe a technical breakthrough: the stable in planta transformation of the barley powdery mildew fungus achieved by the delivery of DNA using a gold-particle gun and selection using benomyl or bialaphos. Stable transformants were obtained with efficiencies comparable to those achieved for other filamentous fungi. This method, if adaptable to other obligate biotrophic fungi, should be an enormous step forward for research towards understanding their life cycle and interaction with the host plant.

In legume roots, expression of the enod40 gene is induced upon infection with rhizobia or AM fungi. Enod40 has been implicated in the initiation of root nodule development. This paper describes the isolation of enod40 homologous genes from two grasses: rice and maize. The rice enod40 promoter fused to GUS and transformed into soybean, conferred an expression pattern similar to that of the endogenous enod40 promoter. The authors suspect a function of enod40 in vascular tissue differentiation. These data strongly support the plausible hypothesis that legumes have recruited plant genes involved in general functions for nodule development.

80. Schauser L., Roussis A., Stiller J., Stougaard J. A plant regulator controlling development of symbiotic root nodules. Nature. 402:1999;191-195. This work constitutes a scientific milestone, the cloning of the first plant gene required for root nodule formation (Ljnin1, for nodule inception). The gene isolation has been facilitated by transposon tagging, the successful outcome of Jens Stougaard's commitment to develop a transposon mutagenesis system in the legume L. japonicus. The conceptual protein carries domains potentially involved in DNA binding. A close homologue is Mid, a regulatory protein that controls mating type in Clamydomonas.
