Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...
Root secretion and plant immunity are key factors in controlling the assembly of root-associated microbiotas of which rhizobia are key members Rhizobia exist in soil and compete with the general ...
Tsukuba, Japan - Legumes such as peas and beans form intimate and mutually beneficial partnerships (symbioses) with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, rhizobia. The plant benefits from an enhanced supply of ...
Scientists discover the genetics inside legumes that control the production of an oxygen-carrying molecule, crucial to the plant’s close relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The finding offers ...
Recent research on Lotus japonicus, a model leguminous plant, has unveiled that the interaction between legume roots and rhizobia is characterized by periodic gene expression with a six-hour rhythm.
Plant Physiology, Vol. 137, No. 4, Legume Special Issue (Apr., 2005), pp. 1302-1318 (17 pages) Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in legume root nodules requires differentiation and integration of both ...
Soybeans and other legumes interact with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called rhizobia that are able to convert nitrogen in the air into a form the plant can use to grow and reproduce. Corn and other ...
Nitrogen-fixing cereals? California researchers grew wheat that fixed its own nitrogen, but commercialized seed production is ...
