  abstract = {{M}any plants interact symbiotically with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to enhance inorganic phosphorus uptake, and legumes also develop a nodule symbiosis with rhizobia for nitrogen acquisition. {T}he establishment and functioning of both symbioses rely on a common plant signaling pathway activated by structurally related {M}yc and {N}od factors. {R}ecently, a {SPARK} receptor-like kinase ({RLK})/receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase ({RLCK}) complex was shown to be essential for arbuscular mycorrhiza formation in both monocot and dicot plants. {H}ere, we show that in {A}eschynomene legumes, the {RLCK} component of this receptor complex has undergone a gene duplication event and mediates a unique nodule symbiosis that is independent of rhizobial {N}od factors. {I}n {A}eschynomene evenia, {A}e{RLCK}2 is crucial for nodule initiation but not for arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis. {A}dditionally, {A}e{RLCK}2 physically interacts with and is phosphorylated by the cysteine-rich {RLK}, {A}e{CRK}, which is also required for nodulation. {T}his finding uncovers an important molecular mechanism that controls the establishment of nodulation and is associated with {N}od-independent symbiosis. {T}he discovery of the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase {A}e{RLCK}2 as being important for nodulation in {A}eschynomene evenia sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of the {N}od-independent symbiosis.},
