Recent molecular evidence has placed all nodulated plants in a distinct group, known as the Rosid I clade. However, the clade also contains many genera that lack the ability to nodulate. If, as is generally assumed, all members of the clade have some predisposition to form nodules, why is it only expressed in certain genera?

Before nodule formation begins bacteria must enter into the plant cell either by root hair-entry and crack-entry. These entry pathways vary with the host plant and associated rhizobia. In most legume, rhizobia invade plant tissue intra-cellularly (also known as root hair-entry) in which there is formation of infection thread (IT) consisting of inva...
Any bacterial species cannot infect or live any host plant, both of these are highly selective. In case of biological nitrogen fixation by the bradyrhizobia with the leguminous plant there is specific recognition between the host and invading microbes. Based on the type of host-plants, Bradyrhizobium can decide whether the nod-dependent or nod-inde...
2.3.1 Nodule induction pathway
Two model legumes, M. truncatula and L. japonicus, are well known for nodule formation in NFs-dependent pathway with diverse rhizobacterial species. Outline of this signalling pathway involves; binding of NF to a suitable receptor at the plasma membrane of plant cells, this binding activates calcium spiking and as a results nodule forming genes are expressed through sequential events (Fig. 1). In nod-dependent nodulation, rhizobia produce lipochito-oligosachharides that bind to LysM receptor-...
Nod-factors are not essential for nodulation in some Bradyrhizobium as stated earlier. Although the process of nod-independent nodulation is not familiar as nod-dependent nodule formation, but putative pathways based on T3SS cluster is discussed in this study under the mechanism of nod-deficient symbiosis. Even in absence of NF-dependent signalling...
Actinorhizal plants have the ability to develop an endosymbiosis with the nitrogen-fixing soil actinomycete Frankia. The establishment of the symbiotic process results in the formation of root nodules in which Frankia provides fixed nitrogen to the host plant in exchange for reduced carbon.
Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. [1] Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, capable plants form a symbiotic relationship with a host-specific strain of bacteria known as rhizobia. [2]
Dec 9, 2020 · Root nodules that form on legumes, such as garden pea and soybean, are the salient feature of symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria. It is now shown that formation of these unique...

Oct 1, 2000 · Why certain plants are able to develop root nodules is unclear, but recent phylogenetic studies based on DNA sequence analysis place all plants involved in rhizobial or actinorhizal symbiosis in the same lineage and suggest that the predisposition for nodulation evolved only once (Soltis et al., 1995; Doyle, 1998).

Dec 1, 1998 · Multiple origins of nodulation (perhaps even within the legume family) appear likely. However, all nodulating flowering plants are more closely related than previously suspected, suggesting that the predisposition to nodulate might have arisen only once.
