The noeA deletion mutant increased nodule fresh weight in five alfalfa cultivars.
Medicago sativaVerbatim
e0“Compared to 042BM, the noeA deletion mutant 042BMA-Km showed different degrees of increase in number of nodule, fresh weight of nodule and plant top dry weight on alfalfa cultivars of Putong Zihua, Baoding, Ningxia, Baifa and Aohan, but decrease on Milu.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The 042BM noeA sequence was 99% identical to the S. meliloti 1021 sequence.
- Observation NoeA similarity between 042BM and S. meliloti 1021 was 97%.
- Observation NoeA shared 32% similarity with a Mesorhizobium methyltransferase.
- Observation NoeA residues 303-362 had 41% similarity to an E. coli methyltransferase region.
- Intervention effect The noeA deletion mutant increased nodule number in five alfalfa cultivars.
- Intervention effect The noeA deletion mutant increased plant top dry weight in five alfalfa cultivars.
- Intervention effect The noeA deletion mutant decreased the three measured traits on Milu alfalfa.
- Intervention effect The mutant showed no significant change in nodulation of Huanghou and Zahua.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that noeA contributes to cultivar-specific alfalfa nodulation.
