Abstract excerpt
Rhizobia-secreted Nod-factors (NFs) are required for nodulation. In the early developmental process of nodulation, a large number of changes occur in gene expression. Lotus japonicus nsp2 mutants isolated from Gifu B-129 ecotype have defects in nodule initiation and display non-nodulating phenotype. Here, we describe positional cloning of LjNSP2 as a component of the nodulation-specific signaling pathway. LjNSP2...
