Summary

Plant roots have the best-understood mutualisms with microbes, but leaf and bract cell endosymbiosis have not been previously reported. Leaf and bract cells of more than 30 species in 18 families of seed plants were surveyed for the presence of intracellular bacteria and several experiments were designed to find and analyze nutrient exchanges between bacteria and plant cells. This dataset contains the results of 1) histochemical analyses to detect hormones, superoxide, and nitrogenous chemicals around bacteria within plant leaf and bract cells, 2) experiments to assess the differential absorption of isotopic nitrogen into plants, and 3) genetic analysis of bacteria isolated from plant material.

Purpose

Data were collected in laboratory experiments to determine whether bacteria in leaf and bract cells of plants assimilated nitrogen into actively growing plant tissues (endosymbiosis). The forms of endosymbiosis identified have not been previously reported and may be important in facilitating plant growth, development, oxidative stress resistance, and nutrient absorption.
