Possible role of glutamine synthetase in the NO signaling response in root nodules by contributing to the antioxidant defenses

Nitric oxide (NO) is emerging as an important regulatory player in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. The occurrence of NO during several steps of the symbiotic interaction suggests an important, but yet unknown, signaling role of this molecule for root nodule formation and functioning. The identificat...
