Abstract excerpt
To maintain a symbiotic balance, leguminous plants have a systemic regulatory system called autoregulation of nodulation (AUT). Since AUT is schematically similar to systemic resistance found in plant-pathogen interactions, we examined the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or methyl salicylate (MeSA) on nodulation in Lotus japonicus. Shoot-applied MeJA strongly suppressed nodulation in the wild type and even...
