Nodulation: finding the lost common denominator.
The products of the 'common' nodulation genes of Rhizobium catalyze the synthesis of signal molecules and were once thought to have similar functions in all Rhizobium species; subtle differences in the activities of these gene products have now been discovered that influence the host range of Rhizobium species.
