An ABA/auxin regulatory module controlled by nitrogen governs symbiotic organogenesis in the bryophyte species Ricciocarpos natans

During the terrestrialization of plants c. 470 Ma, overcoming nitrogen limitation was a major evolutionary challenge. While nonvascular plants may acquire nitrogen through rhizoids and surface diffusion, symbiotic interactions likely provide an important strategy to overcome nitrogen limitation. This study reveals that...
