Calcium, kinases and nodulation signalling in legumes
Giles E. D. Oldroyd1 & J. Allan Downie1 About the authors
Abstract
Several genes have recently been identified using legume mutants that are defective for nodulation signalling. The proteins they encode include novel types of receptor-like kinase that are predicted to recognize bacterial nodulation (Nod) factors, a leucine-rich-repeat receptor kinase, a putative ion channel and a predicted Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The identification of these gene products provides new insights into the legume signalling responses to rhizobial signals.
