Medicago truncatula DMI1 required for bacterial and fungal symbioses in legumes. Science. 303:2004;1364-1367 The DMI1 gene encodes a predicted ion channel that is essential for symbiosis. Interestingly, a homologous gene has been found in two bacteria, Mesorhizobium loti, a bacterium that forms root nodules with Lotus japonicus, and Streptomyces, suggesting the possibility of horizontal gene transfer from plants to a limited number of bacteria.

Science. 303:2004;1361-1364 The kinase that is cloned in the study is potentially able to interpret the calcium-spiking response observed in root hairs after Nod-factor treatment, and to translate it into a phosphorylation event as a readout. This kinase is also required for AM, which opens up the possibility that calcium spiking plays a role in fungal-mediated signalling.
