Nod factors and nodulation in plants
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes is accomplished by Rhizobium bacteria, which reside in plant nodules and whose secretions stimulate nodule growth. Proteins in the Rhizobium's Nod genes and plant flavonoids stimulate the production of host-specific signal molecules called nod factors.
