Pharmacological Analysis of Nod Factor-Induced Calcium Spiking in Medicago truncatula. Evidence for the Requirement of Type IIA Calcium Pumps and Phosphoinositide Signaling1

Engstrom, Eric M., Ehrhardt, David W., Mitra, Raka M., Long, Sharon R.

Bacterial Nod factors trigger a number of cellular responses in root hairs of compatible legume hosts, which include periodic, transient increases in cytosolic calcium levels, termed calcium spiking....

A Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase required for symbiotic nodule development: Gene identification by transcript-based cloning

Mitra, Raka M., Gleason, Cynthia A., Edwards, Anne, Hadfield, James, Downie, J. Allan, Oldroyd, Giles E. D., ...

In the establishment of the legume-rhizobial symbiosis, bacterial lipochitooligosaccharide signaling molecules termed Nod factors activate the formation of a novel root organ, the nodule. Nod factors...

Six nonnodulating plant mutants defective for Nod factor-induced transcriptional changes associated with the legume-rhizobia symbiosis

Mitra, Raka M., Shaw, Sidney L., Long, Sharon R.

As the legume-rhizobia symbiosis is established, the plant recognizes bacterial-signaling molecules, Nod factors (NFs), and initiates transcriptional and developmental changes within the root to...

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...

Medicago truncatula NIN Is Essential for Rhizobial-Independent Nodule Organogenesis Induced by Autoactive Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase1

Marsh, John F., Rakocevic, Alexandra, Mitra, Raka M., Brocard, Lysiane, Sun, Jongho, Eschstruth, Alexis, ...

The symbiotic association between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria collectively known as rhizobia results in the formation of a unique plant root organ called the nodule. This process is...
