D. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Plant genes whose expression is induced in legumes by Rhizobium bacteria upon nodulation were initially referred to as nodulins. Several of them play a key role in the establishment of symbiosis. Yet, nodulin-like proteins are also found in non-nodulating plant species such as Arabidopsis, rice, maize or poplar. For instance, 132 are predicted in the Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 genome. Recent studies now highlight the importance of nodulin-like proteins for the transport of nutrients, solutes, amino acids or hormones and for major aspects of plant development. Interestingly, nodulin-like activities at the plant-microbe interface are also important for pathogens to enhance their fitness during host colonization. This work presents a genomic and functional overview of nodulin-like proteins in non-leguminous plant species, with a particular focus on Arabidopsis and rice. specialized Amino acid Arabidopsis Nodulin Nutrient Pathogen Rice Sugar Transporter 076 55 3 469-474 2014 0032-0781 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010097310 10.1093/pcp/pct198 0032-0781 [F B010097310] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010097310 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2026-06/010097310.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2014-04-29 2026-06-10 fdi:010097310 fre
