Abstract Rhizobia induces nitrogen-fixing nodules in legumes used in agricultural production, providing a direct source of combined nitrogen to leguminous crops. Small peptides, such as CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION peptides (CLE), are known to regulate the formation and development of nitrogen-fixing nodules in legumes. Root meristem growth factor (RGF) peptides from Medicago truncatula not only regulate root development but also modulate nodulation symbiosis with Sinorhizobium meliloti. However, the impact of RGF peptides from one leguminous species on the others remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the effects of the RGF family peptide MtRGF6p from M. truncatula on nodulation symbiosis… More >
