Name the proteins that help in establishing symbiosis and maintain root nodule functioning in legumes.

Answer 1

Answer:

i think it is plastids

Explanation:

Answer 2

Nodulins are the proteins that establish symbiosis and manage the functioning of nodules in leguminous plants.

Explanation:

The legumes are in a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium) that help the plants with nitrogen assimilation.

Infection by Rhizobium leads to the expression of the nodulin genes in the genome of the plants resulting in the production of organ-specific proteins called 'nodulins'. They are formed during the infection process and assimilation of fixed nitrogen.

Some example are the proteins.

• Leghemoglobin an oxygen-carrying protein that maintain the low oxygen tension for effective nitrogen fixation. It is expressed only in root nodules.
• Uricase in soybean
