From: Deletions of the SACPD-C locus elevate seed stearic acid levels but also result in fatty acid and morphological alterations in nitrogen fixing nodules

Figure 8

Comparison of nodule structure formed by B. japonicum on wild-type and SACPD-C mutant soybean lines. (a), hand sectioned nodules showing central necrotic zones in nodules formed on SACPD-C mutants. Arrows indicate the central Necrotic Zones (NZ) in mutant nodules. “KK24-2” (SACPD-C/SACPD-C) and “KK24-3” (C298Δ/ C298Δ) are homozygote F2:3 plants derived from a single F2 plant heterozygous for the KK24 mutant allele. (SACPD-C/C298Δ). (b) Nodule sections stained with toluidine blue showing reduced bacteroids in NZ of nodules formed by mutant line FN8. IC, infected cells; UC, uninfected cells; Scale bars: 500 μm, (a) and upper panels in (b); 50 μm, lower panels in (b).
