Aeschynomene evenia, a Model Plant for Studying the Molecular Genetics of the Nod-Independent Rhizobium-Legume Symbiosis

Abstract: Research on the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis has been focused, thus far, on two model legumes, Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus, which use a sophisticated infection process involving infection thread formation. However, in 25% of the legumes, the bacterial entry occurs more simply in an intercellular fashion. Among them, some Aeschynomene spp. are nodulated by photosynthetic Bradyrhizobium spp. that do not produce Nod factors. This interaction is believed to represent a living testimony of the ancestral st… Show more

“…Aeschynomene evenia recently emerged as a new model legume for the study of legume-rhizobium interactions (Arrighi et al, 2012). Most studies of rhizobium-legume symbioses up to now were those in temperate climates, which are far from representing the diversity of such interactions, particularly the range of infection processes.…”

“…For example, within the Aeschynomene genus, A. afraspera has E-type bacteroids but A. indica or A. evenia have S-type bacteroids (Bonaldi et al, 2011;Arrighi et al, 2012). The bacteroid morphogenesis in the Aeschynomene genus is also under plant control, since the Bradyrhizobium spp.…”

“…The bacteroid morphogenesis in the Aeschynomene genus is also under plant control, since the Bradyrhizobium spp. strain ORS285 transforms into E-morphotype bacteroids in A. afraspera nodules and in S-morphotype bacteroids in A. indica and A. evenia nodules (Bonaldi et al, 2011;Arrighi et al, 2012). The Aeschynomene symbiosis with Bradyrhizobium spp.…”
