2015 July 28, Da-Song Chen et al., “Identification of a core set of rhizobial infection genes using data from single cell-types”, in Frontiers in Plant Science, volume 6, →DOI:The available data suggest that nodD1 and nodD2 activation of nod gene expression in the infection zone occurs mainly through the action of methoxychalcone, but expression of these genes in ZIII may be mediated by another flavonoid, such as isoliquiritigenin, whilst NodD3 operates independently of flavonoids and is sufficient to sustain nodulation.
