Nitrate-Induced <i>MtCLE34</i> Gene Lacks the Ability to Reduce Symbiotic Nodule Number and Carries Nonsense Mutation in a Few Accessions of <i>Medicago truncatula</i>
Legume plants form nitrogen-fixing nodules on their roots in symbiosis with soil bacteria rhizobia. The number of symbiotic nodules is controlled by a host plant via a systemic mechanism known as autoregulation of nodulation (AON).
