Abstract excerpt
As the legume-rhizobia symbiosis is established, the plant recognizes bacterial-signaling molecules, Nod factors (NFs), and initiates transcriptional and developmental changes within the root to allow bacterial invasion and the construction of a novel organ, the nodule. Plant mutants defective in nodule initiation (Nod(-)) are thought to have defects in NF-signal transduction. However, it is unknown whether WT...
