Strigolactones (SLs) influence the ability of legumes to associate with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. In this study, we determine the precise stage at which SLs influence nodulation. We show that SLs promote infection thread formation, as a null SL-deficient pea (Pisum sativum) mutant forms significantly fewer infection threads than wild-type plants, and this reduction can be overcome by the application of the...
