Potentially, this gene could encode a product involved in Rhizobium recognition. The mutant does not form nodules after inoculation with Rhizobium. Currently, the U.S. agbio is the fastest growing sector in biotechnology. Implications of our discovery could lead to novel products in the field of herbicides and fertilizers and take advantage of this growing market.
