How do "friendly" rhizobia build a legume nodule?
@AlbinTeulet found that

Type III effectors of symbiotic Rhizobia include diverse predicted transcriptional and post-transcriptional modulators.

How do "friendly" rhizobia build a legume nodule? @AlbinTeulet found that some may carry hidden transcription factors - proteins that mimic DNA-binding folds to enter the plant nucleus and rewrite its developmental program.

@CStrulluDerrien @mrillig @fmartin1954 @1pantunes Maybe look for look for a trilete/monolete mark or tetrads, whether one per host cell in epidermis, attached hypha, pores or apertures. Age & whether they're in situ or macerated

[Sebastian Schornack @dromius]

@CStrulluDerrien @mrillig @fmartin1954 @1pantunes Could be plant spores w/ perispore or cryptospores, chytrid resting spores (e.g. Synchytrium-like), other fungal resting spores, pollen, algal cysts.

Hey mycorrhiza folks! 🍄Spotted these interesting hyphal structures while looking at stained grass roots under the microscope. Do you think they're AM fungi? What do you think? 🧐
