Bel2-5 confers hijacking activity to another rhizobia. (a) G. max cv. En1282 (nfr1 mutant soybean) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp. ORS3257 wild-type and with insertion of bel2-5 gene, designed as ORS3257::bel2-5. Whole plants (scale bars: 5 cm) and root nodules (scale bars: 1 cm) were photographed at 30 dpi. (b) The number of nodules formed on En1282 inoculated with uninoculated (water), ORS3257 and ORS3257::bel2-5. Nodules were counted at 30 dai. Values represent mean ± SD (n = 18, from three independent inoculation tests). N.D.: Not detected. (c) nodules section of En1282 inoculated with ORS3257::bel2-5. Scale bars: 1 mm.
