Abstract excerpt
Legume nodulation requires the detection of flavonoids in the rhizosphere by rhizobia to activate their production of Nod factor countersignals. Here we investigated the flavonoids involved in nodulation of Medicago truncatula. We biochemically characterized five flavonoid-O-methyltransferases (OMTs) and a lux-based nod gene reporter was used to investigate the response of Sinorhizobium medicae NodD1 to various...
