Abstract excerpt
The Medicago truncatula Does not Make Infections (DMI2) mutant is mutated in the nodulation receptor-like kinase, NORK. Here, we report that NORK-mutated legumes of three species show an enhanced touch response to experimental handling, which results in a nonsymbiotic root hair phenotype. When care is taken not to induce this response, DMI2 root hairs respond morphologically like the wild type to nodulation...
