The reporter learned from the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Molecular Plant Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that for the first time, the center's research team successfully analyzed the high-resolution complex crystal structure of pea rhizobacteria nODD protein combined with flavonoids, analyzed the mechanism by which nODD recognizes flavonoids, and revealed the key structural elements in nODD that determine the specificity of signal recognition. The research results were published online in the international academic journal “Science” on January 9.
