Nod factor, the Glossary

Index Nod factor

Nod factors (nodulation factors or NF), are signaling molecules produced by soil bacteria known as rhizobia in response to flavonoid exudation from plants under nitrogen limited conditions.[1]

Arbuscular mycorrhiza

An arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) (plural mycorrhizae) is a type of mycorrhiza in which the symbiont fungus (AM fungi, or AMF) penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant forming arbuscules.

See Nod factor and Arbuscular mycorrhiza

Cell signaling

In biology, cell signaling (cell signalling in British English) is the process by which a cell interacts with itself, other cells, and the environment.

See Nod factor and Cell signaling

ENOD40

enod40, also known as early nodulin 40, is a gene found in flowering plants.

See Nod factor and ENOD40

Flavonoid

Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids; from the Latin word flavus, meaning yellow, their color in nature) are a class of polyphenolic secondary metabolites found in plants, and thus commonly consumed in the diets of humans.

See Nod factor and Flavonoid

Functional group

In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.

See Nod factor and Functional group

Histidine kinase

Histidine kinases (HK) are multifunctional, and in non-animal kingdoms, typically transmembrane, proteins of the transferase class of enzymes that play a role in signal transduction across the cellular membrane.

See Nod factor and Histidine kinase

Intrinsically disordered proteins

In molecular biology, an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) is a protein that lacks a fixed or ordered three-dimensional structure, typically in the absence of its macromolecular interaction partners, such as other proteins or RNA.

See Nod factor and Intrinsically disordered proteins

Intron

An intron is any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is not expressed or operative in the final RNA product.

See Nod factor and Intron

Kinase

In biochemistry, a kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates.

See Nod factor and Kinase

Leghemoglobin

Leghemoglobin (also leghaemoglobin or legoglobin) is an oxygen-carrying phytoglobin found in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants.

See Nod factor and Leghemoglobin

Lotus japonicus

Lotus japonicus is a wild legume that belongs to family Fabaceae.

See Nod factor and Lotus japonicus

LysM domain

In molecular biology the LysM domain is a protein domain found in a wide variety of extracellular proteins and receptors.

See Nod factor and LysM domain

Medicago truncatula

Medicago truncatula, the barrelclover, strong-spined medick, barrel medic, or barrel medick, is a small annual legume native to the Mediterranean region that is used in genomic research.

See Nod factor and Medicago truncatula

Model organism

A model organism (often shortened to model) is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the model organism will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.

See Nod factor and Model organism

N-Acetylglucosamine

N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an amide derivative of the monosaccharide glucose.

See Nod factor and N-Acetylglucosamine

Nitrogen fixation

Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular dinitrogen is converted into ammonia. Nod factor and Nitrogen fixation are plant physiology.

See Nod factor and Nitrogen fixation

Nitrogenase

Nitrogenases are enzymes that are produced by certain bacteria, such as cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria) and rhizobacteria.

See Nod factor and Nitrogenase

Receptor (biochemistry)

In biochemistry and pharmacology, receptors are chemical structures, composed of protein, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems.

See Nod factor and Receptor (biochemistry)

Rhizobia

Rhizobia are diazotrophic bacteria that fix nitrogen after becoming established inside the root nodules of legumes (Fabaceae).

See Nod factor and Rhizobia

Root nodule

Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nod factor and root nodule are Fabaceae.

See Nod factor and Root nodule

Soil microbiology

Soil microbiology is the study of microorganisms in soil, their functions, and how they affect soil properties.

See Nod factor and Soil microbiology

Soybean

The soybean, soy bean, or soya bean (Glycine max) is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses.
