Heterologous Rhizobial Lipochitin Oligosaccharides and Chitin Oligomers Induce Cortical Cell Divisions in Red Clover Roots, Transformed with the Pea Lectin Gene

Division of cortical cells in roots of leguminous plants is triggered by lipochitin oligosaccharides (LCOs) secreted by the rhizobial microsymbiont. Previously, we have shown that presence of pea lectin in transgenic white clover hairy roots renders these roots susceptible to induction of root nodul...
