Rhythmic gene expression in plants is crucial for symbiosis with nutrient-providing bacteria, study findsWhen rhizobia infect legume roots, root epidermal cells form infection threads, membranous tube-like structures guiding the bacteria to the inner root tissue where they can fix nitrogen. Rhizobial ...
