  abstract = {{L}eguminous plants ( such as peas and soybeans) and rhizobial soil bacteria are symbiotic partners that communicate through molecular signaling pathways, resulting in the formation of nodules on legume roots and occasionally stems that house nitrogen-fixing bacteria. {N}odule formation has been assumed to be exclusively initiated by the binding of bacterial, host-specific lipochito-oligosaccharidic {N}od factors, encoded by the nod{ABC} genes, to kinase-like receptors of the plant. {H}ere we show by complete genome sequencing of two symbiotic, photosynthetic, {B}radyrhizobium strains, {BTA}i1 and {ORS}278, that canonical nod{ABC} genes and typical lipochito-oligosaccharidic {N}od factors are not required for symbiosis in some legumes. {M}utational analyses indicated that these unique rhizobia use an alternative pathway to initiate symbioses, where a purine derivative may play a key role in triggering nodule formation.},
