CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knock-Out of the <i>MtCLE35</i> Gene Highlights Its Key Role in the Control of Symbiotic Nodule Numbers under High-Nitrate Conditions
Legume plants have the ability to establish a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria known as rhizobia. The legume–rhizobium symbiosis results in the formation of symbiotic root nodules, where rhizobia fix atmospheric nitrogen. A host plant controls the number of symbiotic nodules to meet its nit...
