During nodule development on stems of Sesbania rostrata, the ENOD2 gene was expressed in the nodule parenchyma and in outer cortical cells. The latter, novel expression pattern was low in uninfected nodulation sites, strongly enhanced 1 day after infection, and correlated with young peridermal cells at later stages. The induction of both ENOD2 transcript accumulation patterns was dependent on Nod factor-producing bacteria
