Legumes are able to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called
rhizobia. The result of this symbiosis is to form nodules on the plant root, within which the …

Rhizobia adopt many different lifestyles including survival in soil, growth in the rhizosphere,
attachment to root hairs and infection and growth within legume roots, both in infection …

Root–nodule symbiosis between leguminous plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia)
involves molecular communication between the two partners. Key components for the …

The root nodule symbiosis established between legumes and rhizobia is an exquisite
biological interaction responsible for fixing a significant amount of nitrogen in terrestrial …

The formation of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots and/or stem of leguminous
plants involves a complex signal exchange between both partners. Since many …

Rj4 is a dominant gene in soybeans (Glycine max) that restricts nodulation by many strains
of Bradyrhizobium elkanii. The soybean-B. elkanii symbiosis has a low nitrogen-fixation …

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can establish a symbiotic association with legumes. As a
result, plant nodules are formed on the roots of the host plants where rhizobia differentiate to …

Legume plants form a root-nodule symbiosis with rhizobia. This symbiosis establishment
generally relies on rhizobium-produced Nod factors (NFs) and their perception by …

Genotype-specific incompatibility in legume–rhizobium symbiosis has been suggested to be
controlled by effector-triggered immunity underlying pathogenic host-bacteria interactions …

Nitrogen is essential for the growth of plants. The ability of some plant species to obtain all or
part of their requirement for nitrogen by interacting with microbial symbionts has conferred a …
