Nod-Factors in Symbiotic Development of Root Hairs

  • Chapter

Abstract

Generally, root hairs emerge at the apical end of some epidermal cells, and elongate by polar growth of the tip (Cormack 1962; see Chapters 1 to 3 this volume). Young, elongating root hairs are extensively colonized by soil-borne micro-organisms. Intimate associations between dissimilar organisms are common, especially in nutrient poor environments. Prevalent amongst these associations are nitrogen-fixing symbioses in which photosynthetic organisms provide carbohydrates in exchange for organic nitrogen exported by diazotrophs. Soil bacteria of the genera Azorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium and Sinorhizobium (collectively called rhizobia) enter the roots (and occasionally adventitious-roots on the stems) of legumes (family Leguminosae), and induce the formation of highly specialised organs, called nodules. Rhizobia present in the root nodules convert to an endo-symbiotic form, the bacteroids, in which dinitrogen is reduced to ammonia. Bacteroids within nodules contribute a disproportionately large portion of fixed nitrogen to the global pool.
