Previously we described isolation of series of symbiotic mutants (4) on laboratory line SGE (3). In this study four new symbiotic mutants: SGENod--6, SGENod--7, SGEFix--3 and SGEFix--4 were obtained using EMS mutagenesis (0.15% EMS during 10 h) of line SGE. Mutant SGENod--6 is unable to form any nodules, mutant SGENod--7 forms few or no nodules. Mutants SGEFix--3 and SGEFix--4 form pink-greenish non-fixing nodules. Tests for allelism have revealed that mutant SGENod--6 is allelic to mutant E69 (sym7) (2), mutant SGEFix--3 is allelic to mutant P63 (sym26) (1, and G. Duc, M. Sagan, pers. comm.). For mutants SGENod--7 and SGEFix--4 tests for allelism have not been completed yet.
