Abstract
We are interested in the molecular mechanisms involved in nodule initiation in the R. meliloti-Medicago symbiosis. To that end, early nodulin genes expressed in the initially dividing cortical cells of Medicago have been identified: Msenod40, Mscal and Msenodl2A. Using these molecular markers, evidence indicating that Nod factors and cytokinins may share certain common signalling elements will be presented. In addition, we propose that the induction of enod40 in the cortex may be involved in the elicitation of cortical cell divisions.
