Either NO(3) (-) (16 millimolar) or NH(4) (+) (1 millimolar) completely inhibited infection and nodulation of white clover seedlings (Trifoliin repens) inoculated with Rhizobium trifolii. The binding of R. trifolii to root hairs and the immunologically detectable levels of the plant lectin, trifoliin, on the root hair surface had parallel declining slopes as the concentration of either NO(3) (-) or NH(4) (+) was increased in the rooting medium. This supports the role of trifoliin in binding R. trifolii to clover root hairs. Agglutination of R. trifolii by trifoliin from seeds was not inhibited by these levels of NO(3) (-) or NH(4) (+). The results suggest that these fixed N ions may play important roles in regulating an early recognition process in the Rhizobium-clover symbiosis, namely the accumulation of high numbers of infective R. trifolii cells on clover root hairs.
