Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Early infection changed root hair responses to several plant hormones.
- Observation Auxin responsive genes including ARF16a ortholog were induced at infection sites and nodule primordia.
- Intervention effect ARF16a mutation reduced rhizobial infection.
- Observation Cell cycle genes including an A-type cyclin and anaphase complex subunit had increased expression.
- Observation Chalcone O-methyltransferases involved in synthesizing a nod gene inducer were induced.
- Mechanism The authors infer auxin signaling is necessary to initiate rhizobial infection threads.
