LYK4 knockdown roots (n=10) inoculated with Sm2011delta(nodFE)-GFP did not show a clear effect on nodulation (averaging 5 nodules per root), but did affect infection thread morphology. Seventy percent of the tubular infection threads contained sac-like structures (averaging 11 structures per root) along their length, similar to what was observed for the Sm2011nodL mutant. These data indicate that LYK4 also plays a role in infection thread formation.
