Spontaneous Root-Nodule Formation in the Model Legume Lotus japonicus: A Novel Class of Mutants Nodulates in the Absence of Rhizobia
Root-nodule development in legumes is an inducible developmental process initially triggered by perception of lipochitin-oligosaccharide signals secreted by the bacterial microsymbiont. In nature, rhizobial colonization and invasion of the legume root is therefore a prerequisite for formation of nit...
