Abstract excerpt
Genetic and molecular mechanisms of development are compared for two major plant-microbe endosymbioses: N(2)-fixing nodules (with rhizobia or actinomycetes Frankia) and arbuscular mycorrhiza (with Glomales fungi). Development from the primordia formed de novo in root tissues is common for all known types of N(2)-fixing nodules. However, their structure varies greatly with respect to: (i) tissue topology (location...
