Mutant Detail

Mutant Detail:

Mutant Symbol	Tnt148
Allele Symbol	Mtnin-2
Gene and Mutation Location	MtNIN (Tnt1 insertion at 20 bp upstream of MtNIN)
Symbiotic Phenotype Brief	Ccd- Inf+- Nod-
Phenotype Detail	Tnt148 is Nod-. S. meliloti did not stimulate cortical cell divisions in these mutants, even at a time point in which wild-type plants had fully formed nodules. The mutant also exhibited the characteristic nin mutant phenotype of excessive root hair curling in response to S. meliloti. The occasional infection foci and infection threads formed in Mtnin-2 indicates that this is a weaker allele compared to Mtnin-1. The mutant formed normal mycorrhizas.
Single gene targeted?	yes
Extra Information	The F1 progeny of reciprocal crosses between Mtnin-1 and Mtnin-2 were Nod- demonstrating allelism. Mtnin-1 expresses the stronger phenotype of the two alleles.
Mutagenesis Method	Transposon
Mutant Class	Nod-
Allelism	not allelic to dmi1, dmi2, dmi3, nfp, nsp1, nsp2, hcl. Mtnin-1 and Mtnin-2 are allelic.
The earliest development stage known to be affected	Cortical cell divisions
Wildtype Line	Jemalong A17
