Abstract excerpt
Gene duplication in evolution has long been viewed as a mechanism for functional divergence. We recently cloned two related lipo-oligo-chitin receptor genes (GmNFR1α and GmNFR1β) in Glycine max(soybean) that allowed the distinction of two nodulation factor (NF) responses during early legume nodule ontogeny, namely invasion of the root hair and concomitant cortical cell divisions. Root-controlled GmNFR1αmutants...
