Textbook Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 1CR
Q Describe the steps in the development of root nodules on a leguminous plant. What is the nature of the recognition between plant and bacterium and how do Nod factors help control this? How does this compare with recognition in the Agrobacterium–plant system (Section 23.5)?

What is the nature ofthe recognition between plant and bacterium and howdo Nod factors help control this?
(a) What do reverse transcriptases do? Give two examples of these and what they do in the cell.
(b) What is an auxotroph and how are these obtained and isolated for study?
please give answer for both questions
thank you
Soil bacteria such as Streptomyces spp. produce the bulk of known antibiotics. It has been suggested that in nature antibiotics serve as signaling molecules, allowing members of the same species or strain to communicate. If this is the case, what might these molecular signals be “saying” and how would such a message be transmitted?
