Abstract
The phenomenon in which developed nodules or nodule primordia suppress the emergence of further nodules in legumes is termed autoregulation of nodulation (AON) (Nutman in Ann Bot 16:79–101, 1952). AON consists of two presumptive long-distance signal molecules involving roots and shoots (Caetano-Anollés and Gresshoff in Annu Rev Microbiol 45:345–382, 1991; Oka-Kira and Kawaguchi in Curr Opin Plant Biol 9:496–502, 2006) (Fig. 7.1) and is also related to the repression of nodules by nitrogen compounds such as nitrate. AON is of great interest with respect to morphological plasticity of plant organogenesis as well as long-distance signalling. This chapter is devoted to the current knowledge of AON mainly in Lotus japonicus..
