A legume cellulase required for rhizobial infection and colonization in root nodule symbiosis

Abstract In root nodule symbiosis, the accommodation of rhizobia in legumes necessitates extensive plant cell wall remodeling to build infection threads (ITs) for rhizobia travelling into nodules, and to subsequently release rhizobia from ITs to form nitrogen fixing symbiosomes. The molecular and ce...
