Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation 2915 genes were identified as differentially expressed in soybean roots.
- Observation Unknown nodulation gene candidates and soybean orthologues of nodulation genes from other legumes were identified.
- Observation Expression of many genes, including an endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, a cytochrome P450 and a TIR-LRR-NBS receptor kinase, was transient and peaked quickly during nodule initiation.
- Observation Additional genes were down-regulated during nodulation.
- Observation A set of differentially regulated genes in the gibberellic acid biosynthesis pathway was discovered.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that the GA biosynthesis gene regulation points to a novel role of gibberellins in nodulation.
