Nitrogen Fixation Mutants of Medicago truncatula Fail to Support Plant and Bacterial Symbiotic Gene Expression1[W][OA]

Starker, Colby G., Parra-Colmenares, Adriana L., Smith, Lucinda, Mitra, Raka M., Long, Sharon R.

The Rhizobium-legume symbiosis culminates in the exchange of nutrients in the root nodule. Bacteria within the nodule reduce molecular nitrogen for plant use and plants provide bacteria with...

An ERF Transcription Factor in Medicago truncatula That Is Essential for Nod Factor Signal Transduction[W]

Middleton, Patrick H., Jakab, Júlia, Penmetsa, R. Varma, Starker, Colby G., Doll, Jake, Kaló, Péter, ...

Rhizobial bacteria activate the formation of nodules on the appropriate host legume plant, and this requires the bacterial signaling molecule Nod factor. Perception of Nod factor in the plant leads...
