| Research Abstract |
Nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia is initiated by the recognition of rhizobial Nod factors (NFs) by host plants. NFs are diversely modified derivatives of chitin oligosaccharide, a fungal elicitor that induces defense responses in plants. Recent evidence has shown that both NFs and chitin elicitors are recognized by structurally-related LysM-receptor kinases. Here, we demonstrated that NF receptors are evolved from the chitin receptors with limited alterations.
