Abstract
Genetically manipulated soybeam varieties which display nitrate-tolerant nodulation and supernodulation are described. The soybean nodulation mutants of the present invention can be specifically prepared by induced mutagenesis followed by appropriate phenotype screening. Fifteen individual mutants having nitrate tolerant nodulation and/or supernodulation phenotypes have been isolated. Soybean varieties having the nodulation phenotypes of the present invention are useful in the development of novel and agronomically important varieties of soybean.
