Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a ubiquitous microbial-associated molecular pattern. Plants can sense the three components of LPS, including core polysaccharide, lipid A, and O-antigen. LPS biosynthesis is an essential factor for the successful establishment of symbiosis in the rhizobium–legume plant sy...
