Research paper thumbnail of Reactive oxygen species and ethylene play a positive role in lateral root base nodulation of a semiaquatic legume

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003

Lateral root base nodulation on the tropical, semiaquatic legume Sesbania rostrata results from t... more Lateral root base nodulation on the tropical, semiaquatic legume Sesbania rostrata results from two coordinated, Nod factor-dependent processes: formation of intercellular infection pockets and induction of cell division. Infection pocket formation is associated with cell death and production of hydrogen peroxide. Pharmacological experiments showed that ethylene and reactive oxygen species mediate Nod factor responses and are required for nodule initiation, whereby induction of division and infection could not be uncoupled.
