Abstract
Inhibitors of ethylene synthesis or its physiological function enhanced nod ulation in Lotus japonicus and Macroptilium atropurpureum. In contrast, the application of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, a precursor of ethyl ene biosynthesis, reduced the nodule number in these legumes. These results suggest that an ethylene-mediated signaling pathway is involved in the nod ulation process even in the determinate nodulators.
