Abstract excerpt
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and root nodule (RN) symbiosis play essential roles in plant nutrient acquisition and share a common symbiotic signal transduction pathway, yet they produce distinct developmental outcomes. Here, we identify arbuscular mycorrhiza-induced kinase 2 (AMK2), a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) in Lotus japonicus, as a key regulator of AM symbiosis. AMK2 is a paralog of the...
