The early nodulin gene, PsENOD7, is expressed in pea root nodules induced by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae, but not in other plant organs. In situ hybridization showed that this gene is transcribed during nodule maturation in the infected cells of the proximal part of the prefixation zone II. At the transition of zone II into interzone II-III, the level of PsENOD7 mRNA drops markedly. PsENOD7 has no significant homology to other genes. RFLP mapping studies have shown that PsENOD7 is located in linkage group I between the leghaemoglobin genes and sym2.

The availability of nitrogen (N) can dramatically influence crops resistance to herbivorous insects. However, the interaction between N fertilization and crop resistance to insects is not well understood. In this study, the effects of N fertilization on the grain aphid (Sitobion miscanthi) were investigated using three wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars with different aphid resistances.

EARLY NODULIN 93 (ENOD93) has been genetically associated with biological nitrogen fixation in legumes and nitrogen use efficiency in cereals, but its precise function is unknown. We show that hidden Markov models define ENOD93 as a homolog of the N-terminal domain of RESPIRATORY SUPERCOMPLEX FACTOR 2 (RCF2). RCF2 regulates cytochrome oxidase (CIV), influencing the generation of a mitochondrial proton motive force in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on phytocyanins (PC), a group of copper-containing proteins important for plant processes like photosynthesis and stress responses, highlighting the under-explored PC gene family in apple.
- Researchers identified 59 MdPC gene members across 12 chromosomes, categorizing them into four subfamilies based on their structural characteristics and analyzed gene relationships revealing both internal and interspecific collinearity with other fruits like strawberry and grape.
- Functional analysis indicated that MdPC genes play a role in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and are influenced by factors such as light, hormones, and stress, with some genes showing increased expression during the apple coloring stages.

Rhizobial phosphatidylcholine (PC) is thought to be a critical phospholipid for the symbiotic relationship between rhizobia and legume host plants. A PC-deficient mutant of Sinorhizobium meliloti overproduces succinoglycan, is unable to swim, and lacks the ability to form nodules on alfalfa (Medicago sativa) host roots. Suppressor mutants had been obtained which did not overproduce succinoglycan and regained the ability to swim.

Their role extends beyond the leguminous species, as numerous nodulin-like proteins, including early nodulin-like proteins (ENODL), have been identified in various non-leguminous plants, implying their involvement in functions beyond nodulation, such as nutrient transport and growth modulation. Some ENODL proteins have been associated with plant defense against pathogens, as evident in banana infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv.
