Diversification of cytokinin phosphotransfer signaling genes in Medicago truncatula and other legume genomes

Abstract Background Legumes can establish on nitrogen-deprived soils a symbiotic interaction with Rhizobia bacteria, leading to the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Cytokinin phytohormones are critical for triggering root cortical cell divisions at the onset of nodule initiation. Cytokinin...
