A pea cDNA clone representing the homologue of the soybean pGmENOD40-1 was isolated and characterized. At the nucleotide level both clones share 55% homology. Strikingly, the homology between the polypeptides derived from the pea and soybean ENOD40 cDNA sequences is only 14%. Despite this low homology Southern analyses revealed that the isolated pea cDNA clone represents the single pea ENOD40. In situ hybridizations showed that at early stages of nodule development and in mature nodules the expression pattern of pea ENOD40 is comparable to that of soybean ENOD40. Although ENOD40 show similar expression patterns in these two nodules, it is questionable whether the putative polypeptides have a similar function, since the homology is very low.

The pea mutant line P55 is defective in root nodule formation, and this phenotype is controlled by a single recessive gene. Complementation analysis revealed that the mutation in P55 is allelic to sym19, which has previously been mapped to linkage group I. Detailed mapping revealed that the sym19 and ENOD40 loci are separated by 2.

We isolated ENOD5, ENOD12 and ENOD40 homologues from Vicia sativa and studied their expression pattern during Rhizobium-induced nodule formation. Comparison of the VsENOD40 nucleotide sequence with the pea, soybean and alfalfa ENOD40 sequences showed that the sequences contain two conserved regions, called region I and region II. Comparison of all the potential open reading frames (ORFs) showed that all the five different ENOD40 clones encode a highly conserved small polypeptide of 12 or 13 amino acids encoded by an ORF located in region I.

In this paper, the soybean 'early nodulin' clone pGmENOD40 is characterized. The GmENOD40 encoded protein does not contain methionine and does not show homology to proteins identified so far. In situ hybridizations showed that this gene has a complex expression pattern during development of determinate soybean nodules.
