The symbiotic relationship between leguminous plants and rhizobial bacteria is one of the most well-studied microbial symbioses. The availability of genome sequence information for many of the bacterial and plant partners involved has been invaluable and in this article, the authors review the most recent discoveries about the mutual recognition betweenSinorhizobium meliloti and Medicago truncatula.
