Flavonoids induce Rhizobium leguminosarum to produce nodDABC gene-related factors that cause thick, short roots and root hair responses on common vetch

S A Zaat et al. J Bacteriol. 1987 Jul.

Abstract

Rhizobium leguminosarum produced a factor(s) that caused thick, short roots (Tsr phenotype) as well as root hair induction (Hai phenotype) and deformation (Had phenotype) in Vicia sativa plants upon incubation with root exudate or with one of the nod gene inducers naringenin or apigenin; this was a nodDABC gene-dependent process. Detection of the Hai and Had phenotypes was much more sensitive than that of the Tsr phenotype.
