Nod genes, which NodD activates, code for nodulation proteins, most of which are involved in the biosynthesis of Nod factors such as;

 a) Nod factors are lipochitin oligosaccharide signal molecules

 b) Nod factor shave a chitin β-1→ 4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine backbone

 c) These N-acetyl-D-glucosamine backbone varying in length from three to six sugar units

 d) A fatty acid chain on the C-2 position of the nonreducing sugar determine the length and degree of saturation of the fatty acyl chain by NodL

 Which of the following is incorrect?

The stages in the formation of the symbiotic relationship between the nitrogen-fixing bacteria and their host, Arrange the given statements of symbiotic association in a stepwise manner;

 a) Migration of the bacteria toward the roots of the host plant by a chemotactic response mediated by chemical attractants

b) NodD with the flavonoids bind with the Promoter region of  highly conserved the nod box

c) These attractants activate the rhizobial NodD protein,

d) The chemical attractants especially (iso)flavonoids and betaines, secreted by the roots

e) Binding of the activated NodD to the nod box induces transcription of the other nod genes

#Question id: 10377

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Nod factors are recognized by the Nod factor receptor (NFR) in legumes, Upon binding to Nod factors, the NFR heterodimer initiates two main separate processes mediated by SYMRK such as;

a) A signaling pathway that facilitates the infection process itself

b) Activation of the symbiosis receptor-like kinase (SYMRK)

c) Activating an extracellular domain that includes a leucine rich repeat (LRR) region and an intracellular protein kinase domain

d) The activation of a set of genes that regulate the formation of root nodules

Which of the following are the two main separate processes of NFR heterodimer?
