The symbiotic relationship between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants involves complex signaling and structural modifications in the root. Which of the following accurately describes the role of NOD factors in this interaction?
Plant hormones that promote bacterial growth within root nodules
Bacterial signals that trigger root hair curling and cortical cell division
Enzymes produced by the plant to break down bacterial cell walls
Proteins that transport nitrogen from bacteria to plant cells
