Light Microscopy Study of Nodule Initiation in Pisum sativum L. cv Sparkle and in Its Low-Nodulating Mutant E2 (sym 5).

abstract：:At low-CO2 (air) conditions, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acquires the ability to raise its internal inorganic carbon concentration. To study this adaptation to low CO2, cDNA clones induced under low-CO2 growth conditions were selected through differential screening. One full-length clone is 25...
