Genome-Wide Sensitivity Analysis of the Microsymbiont <italic toggle="yes">Sinorhizobium meliloti</italic> to Symbiotically Important, Defensin-Like Host Peptides

ABSTRACT The model legume species Medicago truncatula expresses more than 700 nodule-specific cysteine-rich (NCR) signaling peptides that mediate the differentiation of Sinorhizobium meliloti bacteria into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. NCR peptides are essential for a successful symbiosis in legume pl...
