The MYB family is one of the largest groups of transcription factors in plants. Our previous
microarray data revealed that a MYB-related gene (Ljmybr) was induced upon nodule …

The Lotus japonicus sen1 mutant forms ineffective nodules in which development is arrested
at the stage of bacterial differentiation into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Here, we used cDNA …

Nodule-specific (nodulin) genes are thought to play crucial roles during establishment of the
nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between legume plants and Rhizobium bacteria. On the basis of a …

MYB is one of the most abundant families of plant transcription factors (TFs), and is involved
in plant growth and development regulation, abiotic stress tolerance, hormone signal …

Nitrogen fixation in nodules provides leguminous plants with an ability to grow in nitrogen-
starved soil. Infection of the host plants by microsymbionts triggers various physiological and …

Legume-rhizobium symbiosis occurs in specialized root organs called nodules. To establish
the symbiosis, two major genetically controlled events, rhizobial infection and …

Legume plants engage in intimate relationships with rhizobial bacteria to form nitrogen-
fixing nodules, root-derived organs that accommodate the microsymbiont. Members of the …

Gene expression profiles during early stages of formation of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing
nodules in a model legume Lotus japonicus were analyzed by means of a cDNA array of …

Legume plants develop nodules during their symbiotic interaction with rhizobia, and much
progress has been made towards understanding Nod factor perception and downstream …

ENOD40 is one of the most intriguing early nodulin genes that is known to be induced very
early in response to interaction of legume plants with symbiotic Rhizobium bacteria, but its …
