ABSTRACT The symbiotic interaction of legumes and rhizobia results in the formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules. Nodulation depends on the finely coordinated expression of a battery of genes involved in the infection and the organogenesis processes. After Nod factor perception, symbiosis receptor kin...
