DELLA proteins are common components of symbiotic rhizobial and mycorrhizal signalling pathways
Abstract
Symbiotic associations between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are regulated by a CCaMK-IPD3 protein complex which promotes nodule initiation. Here, Jin et al. propose that DELLA proteins positively regulate nodulation by enhancing phosphorylation of IPD3 and acting as a positive regulator of transcription.
