Example sentences for: nodd
How can you use “nodd” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Nod factors are a rhizobial species-specific family of lipo-chito-oligosaccharides which function in signal exchange between the bacterium and its symbiotic partner plant [ 38 ] . The first visible signs of nodule formation (root-hair deformation) as part of the symbiotic pathway are triggered by Nod factors [ 39 ] , and although the specific mechanisms of Nod factor function remain unknown, it is clear that it has a central role in initiation of cell division and possibly also nodule differentiation in the root [ 40 ] . For most rhizobia, the product of nodD acts as a transcriptional activator and induces expression of a set of nod genes.
Experimental evidence [ 39 ] shows that lack of either nodABC or nodD in rhizobia results in a Nod -phenotype (that is, a strain unable to initiate nodule formation on the host plant).
