| Research Abstract |
Frankia is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium having an ability to make symbiosis with trees. Symbiosis occurs in nodules formed on roots in which Frankia fixes nitrogen and supplies the products to the host plant to promote its growth. In order to identify Frankia genes involved in the symbiosis, I attempted to establish transformation system of Frankia and globally identified Frankia genes induced in nodule.
