Nod Factors of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae and Their Fucosylated Derivatives Stimulate a Nod Factor Cleaving Activity in Pea Roots and Are Hydrolyzed In Vitro by Plant Chitinases at Different Rates
Nod factors (NFs) are rhizobial lipo-chitooligosaccharide signals that trigger root nodule development in legumes. Modifications of NF structures influence their biological activity and affect their degradation by plant chitinases. Nodulation of certain pea cultivars by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. v...
