Transcriptomic Identification of a Unique Set of Nodule-Specific Cysteine-Rich Peptides Expressed in the Nitrogen-Fixing Root Nodule of Astragalus sinicus

Feng Wei et al.

Summary: This study conducted transcriptome analysis of the symbiotic relationship between Astragalus sinicus and Mesorhizobium huakuii. It was found that the specific NCR peptides of A. sinicus are dominated by a unique cationic group, which can affect the rhizobial cells. In functional characterization, it was discovered that one of the NCR peptides can inhibit the growth of rhizobial cells in laboratory media and form ineffective nodules on the plant.

A haem-sequestering plant peptide promotes iron uptake in symbiotic bacteria

Siva Sankari et al.

Summary: Symbiotic partnership with rhizobial bacteria allows legumes to grow without nitrogen fertilizer. Legumes produce peptides that bind haem to reduce its availability, inducing iron-starvation response in rhizobia, which is required for nitrogenase activity.

A variable gene family encoding nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptides in pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Evgeny A. Zorin et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the NCR gene family in pea, finding that they are highly variable and distinct from those in Medicago truncatula. The study suggests independent evolution of NCR genes in related legume species and explores the spatiotemporal expression profiles and potential transcription factor regulators of NCRs.

Amino Acid Polymorphisms in the VHIID Conserved Motif of Nodulation Signaling Pathways 2 Distinctly Modulate Symbiotic Signaling and Nodule Morphogenesis in Medicago truncatula

Szilard Kovacs et al.

Summary: Legumes form an endosymbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria through signaling pathways and activation of host genes. Mutant alleles of NSP2 gene in this study exhibit different responses to bacterial infection and nodule formation, indicating the crucial role of NSP2 in symbiotic interactions and nodule development.

Structure and antimicrobial activity of NCR169, a nodule-specific cysteine-rich peptide of Medicago truncatula

Noriyoshi Isozumi et al.

Summary: NCR169, a crucial peptide in Medicago truncatula for symbiosis with rhizobia, has been extensively studied for its structure and function. The peptide's disulfide bonds contribute to its stability and solubility, while its lysine-rich region is responsible for antimicrobial activity. The study provides insights into how NCR169 interacts with bacterial phospholipids and its mechanism of action against bacteria.

Why Should Nodule Cysteine-Rich (NCR) Peptides Be Absent From Nodules of Some Groups of Legumes but Essential for Symbiotic N-Fixation in Others?

J. Allan Downie et al.

Summary: Legumes such as pea and Medicago induce terminal differentiation in rhizobial endosymbionts by targeting nodule-specific peptides, while other legumes like soybean lack these peptides, leading to the absence of terminal bacterial differentiation and nitrogen fixation dysfunction.
