Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Legumes utilize a long-distance signaling feedback pathway, termed Autoregulation of Nodulation (AON), to regulate the establishment and maintenance of their symbiosis with rhizobia. Several proteins key to this pathway have been discovered, but the AON pathway is not completely understood. RESULTS: We report a new hypernodulating mutant, defective in autoregulation, with disruption of a gene, DAR...
