Initiation of a legume nodule with an indeterminate meristem involves proliferating host cells that harbour infection threads.

Article Synopsis

The study compares three pea mutants with defects in nodule development to understand how these abnormalities affect nodule morphogenesis.
Wild-type plants successfully develop nodules by allowing cell proliferation, while two mutants, RisFixA and SGEFix–-2, get stuck at an early stage without proper cell types, indicating the need for certain cells for complete nodule formation.
In a third mutant, SGEFix–-1, nodule development initially follows the wild type but fails later, leading to a proposed sequential interaction of specific symbiotic genes (Sym33, Sym40, Sym41) crucial for nodule formation.

The Sym35 gene required for root nodule development in pea is an ortholog of Nin from Lotus japonicus.

Comparative phenotypic analysis of pea (Pisum sativum) sym35 mutants and Lotus japonicus nin mutants suggested a similar function for the PsSym35 and LjNin genes in early stages of root nodule formation. Both the pea and L. japonicus mutants are non-nodulating but normal in their arbuscular mycorrhizal association.
