Plant-released flavonoids induce the transcription of symbiotic genes in rhizobia and one of the first bacterial responses is the synthesis of so called Nod factors. They are responsible for the initial root hair curling during onset of root nodule development. This signal exchange is believed to be essential for initiating the plant symbiosis with rhizobia affiliated with the <i>Alphaproteobacteria</i>. Here, we provide evidence that in the broad host range strain <i>Sinorhizobium fredii</i> NG ...[more]
