Open AccessIntraradical colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi triggers induction of a lipochitooligosaccharide receptor
Functional divergence of paralogs following gene duplication is one of the mechanisms leading to evolution of novel pathways and traits. Here we show that divergence of Lys11 and Nfr5 LysM receptor kinase paralog...

Receptor-mediated exopolysaccharide perception controls bacterial infection
Surface polysaccharides are important for bacterial interactions with multicellular organisms, and some are virulence factors in pathogens. In the legume–rhizobium symbiosis, bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS)...

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 ...

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...

Regulatory genes of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) controlling the development of nitrogen-fixing nodules and arbuscular mycorrhiza: A review of basic and applied aspects
The review sums up the long experience of the authors and other researchers in studying the genetic system of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), which controls the development of nitrogen-fixing symbiosis and arbuscu...

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...
