Abstract excerpt
The model legume Medicago truncatula delivers nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptides to the intracellular bacteria within nodules to coerce the microbe into terminal differentiation, which coincides with nitrogen fixation in this species. Inside the host cell, the anterograde protein trafficking pathway is repurposed toward a new compartment, the symbiosome. Precise protein delivery within the nodule is critical...
