Abstract Nodule Inception (NIN) is one of the most important root nodule symbiotic genes as it required for both infection and organogenesis in legumes. Unlike legumes with a sole NIN gene, there are four putative orthologous soybean (Glycine max). Whether how these contribute to soybean–rhizobia interaction remain unknown. In this study, we found that all GmNIN induced by rhizobia conserved CE CYC binding motifs their promoter regions expression formation process. By generation multiplex...
Most legume plants can associate with diazotrophic soil bacteria called rhizobia, resulting in new root organs nodules that enable N2 fixation. Nodulation is an energy-consuming process, and nodule number tightly regulated by independent systemic signaling pathways controlled CLE/SUNN CEP/CRA2. Moreover, nitrate inhibits nodulation via local regulatory pathways. In Medicago truncatula, NLP1 plays important roles nitrate-induced inhibition of nodulation, but the relationship between mediating...
Abstract Legumes acquire fixed nitrogen (N) from the soil and through endosymbiotic association with diazotrophic bacteria. However, establishing maintaining N2-fixing nodules are expensive for host plant, relative to taking up N soil. Therefore, plants suppress symbiosis when is plentiful enhance sparse. Here, we show that nitrate transporter MtNRT2.1 required optimal nodule establishment in Medicago truncatula under low-nitrate conditions repression of nodulation high-nitrate conditions....
Nodule Inception (NIN) and NIN-like protein 1 (NLP1), both belonging to the RWP-RK type transcription factors, play critical roles in plant development. Specifically, NIN is pivotal facilitating root nodule symbiosis nitrogen-starved conditions, while NLP1 coordinates nodulation response nitrate level. In this study, we conducted domain swapping experiments between Medicago truncatula elucidate functional significance of their respective domains. The findings reveal that C-terminal regions,...
