Textbook Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 1CR
Q Describe the steps in the development of root nodules on a leguminous plant. What is the nature of the recognition between plant and bacterium and how do Nod factors help control this? How does this compare with recognition in the Agrobacterium–plant system (Section 23.5)?
