Bradyrhizobium elkanii BLY3-8 does not form nodules on the roots of Rj3-genotype soybean (cultivar D-51). This is a cultivar-specific nodulation restriction. The genes A6X20_40975 and A6X20_41030 in strain were predicted to encode transcriptional activator apparatus type III secretion system (T3SS) (the proteins TtsI RhcJ), respectively. Mutants disrupted these overcame These results suggest that an effector injected via T3SS into involved restriction by soybean.
