摘要

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) symbiosis with nodule bacteria supplying plants with additional nitrogen is a very specific plant-microbial interaction. Mutual recognition of the partners occurs through perception of bacterial signal molecules (Nod factors) by plant receptors, enabling bacterial entry via root hairs and formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules. The pea gene Sym2, described but not yet cloned, exists in different allelic forms defining the symbiotic specificity, and is therefore thought to encode a Nod factor receptor. The PsLykX gene is a strong candidate for the Sym2, since its alleles coincide with high or low symbiotic specificity; however, to date, no genetic evidence has been obtained for a role of PsLykX in symbiosis. Here, we knocked-out the PsLykX in European pea cultivar Caméor using Agrobacterium-mediated hairy root transformation and CRISPR-Cas9 editing. The roots with editing events confirmed by sequencing lost the ability to form nodules, providing direct functional evidence that PsLykX is essential, at least, for the symbiosis between pea cultivar Caméor and Rhizobium ruizarguesonis RCAM1026.
