Specialised root hair cells facilitate rhizobial infection

Manuel Frank, Huijun Liu, Lavinia Ioana Fechete, Jule Salfeld, Fabian van Beveren, Emma Kleister Sørensen Birkeskov, Henriette Rübsam, Nikolaj B. Abel, Marcin Nadzieja, Mengyu Lei, Pierre‐Marc Delaux, Kasper R. Andersen, Thomas Ott, Jens Stougaard, Dugald E. Reid, Stig Uggerhøj Andersen

The paper identifies a rare population of root hair cells in legumes that are pre-specified for rhizobial infection through transcriptional specialization, regulated by ethylene and conserved across species.

EPP1 couples receptor activation to cytoplasmic signaling in root nodule symbiosis

Malita Malou Malekzadeh Nørgaard, Nikolaj B. Abel, Emma Birkeskov, David Landry, Jens Stougaard, Kasper R. Andersen

This study identifies EPP1 as a key mediator linking SYMRK receptor activation to cytoplasmic signaling in legume root nodule symbiosis, showing its phosphorylation is essential for nodule formation.
