Abstract
Most known species and isolates of Rhizobium are able to infect developing root hairs of their leguminous host plants. The mechanism of root hair curling and infection thread formation is unknown; however, a rhizobial interference with root hair cell wall metabolism seems obvious. Little is known of the ultrastructure and the composition of leguminous root hairs. Using transmission electron microscopy, we studied the ultrastructure of uninfected developing pea root hairs, with special attention to the cell wall.
