A simple and efficient protocol for generating transgenic hairy roots using Agrobacterium rhizogenes Open
For decades, Agrobacterium rhizogenes (now Rhizobium rhizogenes ), the causative agent of hairy root disease, has been harnessed as an interkingdom DNA delivery tool for generating transgenic hairy roots on a wide variety of plants. One of…

Aromatic amino acid biosynthesis impacts root hair development and symbiotic associations in<i>Lotus japonicus</i> Open
Legume roots can be symbiotically colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. In Lotus japonicus, the latter occurs intracellularly by the cognate rhizobial partner Mesorhizobium loti or intercellularly wit…

A glycan receptor kinase facilitates intracellular accommodation of arbuscular mycorrhiza and symbiotic rhizobia in the legume Lotus japonicus Open
Receptors that distinguish the multitude of microbes surrounding plants in the environment enable dynamic responses to the biotic and abiotic conditions encountered. In this study, we identify and characterise a glycan receptor kinase, EPR…

Single-cell analysis maps distinct cellular responses to rhizobia and identifies the novel infection regulator SYMRKL1 in<i>Lotus japonicus</i> Open
Legume-rhizobium signaling during establishment of symbiotic nitrogen fixation restricts rhizobium colonization to specific cells. A limited number of root hair cells allow infection threads to form, and only a fraction of the epidermal in…

Cytokinin synthesis and export from symbiotic root nodules coordinates shoot growth with nitrogen fixation Open
Development of symbiotic root nodules is a cytokinin-dependent process that is critical to nitrogen acquisition in legumes. The extent and manner in which root nodules contribute to whole-plant cytokinin and nitrogen supply signalling is u…

Distinct signaling routes mediate intercellular and intracellular rhizobial infection in <i>Lotus japonicus</i> Open
Rhizobial infection of legume roots during the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules can occur intracellularly, through plant-derived infection threads traversing cells, or intercellularly, via bacterial entry between epidermal plant…

Nitrate inhibits nodule organogenesis through inhibition of cytokinin biosynthesis in<i>Lotus japonicus</i> Open
Legumes balance nitrogen acquisition from soil nitrate with symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen fixation requires establishment of a new organ, which is a cytokinin dependent developmental process in the root. We found cytokinin biosynth…

No Home without Hormones: How Plant Hormones Control Legume Nodule Organogenesis Open
The establishment of symbiotic nitrogen fixation requires the coordination of both nodule development and infection events. Despite the evolution of a variety of anatomical structures, nodule organs serve a common purpose in establishing a…

Atypical Receptor Kinase RINRK1 Required for Rhizobial Infection But Not Nodule Development in <i>Lotus japonicus</i> Open
During the legume-rhizobium symbiotic interaction, rhizobial invasion of legumes is primarily mediated by a plant-made tubular invagination called an infection thread (IT). Here, we identify a gene in Lotus japonicus encoding a Leu-rich re…
