Popis: One of the most fundamental aspects in biology is the regulation of biochemical pathways, which is brought about by an interplay between signals, genetic elements and transacting factors. Our knowledge of the signals involved in nodulation and nitrogen fixation is progressing rapidly but our understanding of their mechanisms of action is rather poor. In this overview we will deal with signals known or assumed to be involved in the various steps which lead to nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Rhizobium will be the leading microsymbiont but, when appropriate, other microbes will be dealt with. Because of severe space limitation many valuable references had to be omitted.
