  abstract = {{T}he infection of #{V}igna subterranea$ (formerly #{V}oandzeia subterranea) by #{B}radyrhizobium$ strain {MAO} 113 (isolated from #{V}. subterranea) was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. {B}acteria accumulated on the epidermis close to root hairs, and subsequently entered the latter via infeciton threads. {M}ost of the steps involved in nodule formation were generally characteristic of determinate nodules, such as those which form on the closely related #{V}. radiata$. {F}or example, nodule meristems were induced beneath the root epidermis adjacent to infected root hairs, but prior to infection of the meristem by rhizobia. {M}oreover, after the infection of some of the meristematic cells by the infection threads, and the release of the rhizobia into membrane-bound vesicles, the infection process ceased and dissemination of the rhizobia was division of already-infected host cells. {H}owever, there were some aspects of this process in #{V}. subterranea$ which have been more commonly described in indeterminate nodules. {T}hese include long infection threads entering a number of cells within the meristems simultaneously and a matrix within infection threads which was strongly labelled with immunogold monoclonal antibodies, {MAC}236 and {MAC}265, which recognize epitopes on an intercellular glycoprotein. {T}he {MAC}236 and {MAC}265 antibodies also recognized material in the unwalled infection droplets surrounding bacteria which were newly-released from the infection threads. {T}he amount of labelling shown was more characteristic of the long infection threads seen in indeterminate nodules such as pea (#{P}isum sativum$) and #{N}eptunia plena$...
