Gene Discovery in Legume Nodulation: From Soybean to Lotus japonicus
The ability of legumes to respond to bacterial signals to form nitrogen-fixing nodules has long been the focus of biologists. Recognition of (a) distinct nodule types, (b) plant genes that are expressed in nod...

Chapter
Functional Genomics of Legumes
Advances in the field of gene discovery related to genes involved in nodulation, nitrogen fixation and root development are described. Focus is given to two legumes, namely the crop plant soybean, and the mode...

Genome Synteny of Pea and Model Legumes: From Mutation through Genetic Map** to the Genes
Genome synteny of crop and model legumes appears to be a key approach for sequencing symbiotic genes of several agriculturally important species (Zhu et al., 2005). To exploit genome synteny, it is necessary t...

Chapter
Plant Genes Involved in Symbiotic Signal Perception/Signal Transduction
A host genetic programme that is initiated upon recognition of specific rhizobial Nod factors governs the symbiosis of legumes with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This programme coordinates two major developmental ...
