Spotlight on JXB Associate Editor Miriam Gifford, who is an expert in areas such as #root growth and lateral root development, systems approaches to analyse root environmental responses, cell type analysis and #cell sorting, #nodulation, and #nitrogen fixation, #gene network inference and #modelling 🪴

The formation of #root nodules is a fascinating example of organism #symbiosis. Li et al. explore built-in redundancies in the mechanism of #nodulation in #Medicago. Read all about it in a new #JIPB Brief Comms feature. Access is free!

Nodulation Receptor Kinase mediates rhizobial symbiosis in legumes. This GmNORK-Interacting Small Protein acts as a GmNORKphosphorylation target, promoting #soybean #nodulation.
