This award will enable Dr. Jerry D. Johnson from the University of              Wyoming to collaborate with Dr. Barry G. Rolfe at the Australian                National University, Canberra, Australia.  They will investigate what           properties enable the symbiotic bacteria Rhizobium to colonize a broad          range of plant hosts including soybean and the non-legume Parasponia.           Experiments will be conducted to determine the structure and                    organization of the individual genetic units responsible for induction          of nodule formation on the roots of the host plants.                                                                                                            The study of genetic functions involved in Rhizobia- host plant                 specificity is important for fundamental understanding of                       bacterial-plant interactions with broad implications for plant health           and productivity.  Dr. Johnson is currently working on the Frankia              group of bacteria, which together with Rhizobium, accounts for most of          the bacteria-plant symbiotic relationships capable of reducing                  molecular nitrogen.  Dr. Rolfe's lab is well-suited for sophisticated           studies in molecular genetics and has done extensive work with                  Rhizobium.
