In recent years, the promoter of Rhizobium nodulation gene has been studiedincreasingly. It is well known that the promoter of rhizobia nodulation genes is in-duced by plant inducer flavonoid. The transcription of nodulation genes atdownstream begins, when the NodD protein is present. This kind of promoters isvery conservative in structure, always containing nod boxes. In previous reports, the Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 as Rhizobium has beenshown to harbour nodABC-related genes (nod locus 1) and nodD-related gene(nodlocus 3). Recently, the details of the identification of a new nod locus 5 gene
