Rhizobia are some of the best-studied plant microbiota. These oligotrophic
Alphaproteobacteria or Betaproteobacteria form symbioses with their legume hosts …

Most land plants benefit from endosymbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi, including
legumes and some nonlegumes that also interact with endosymbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing …

Legumes form symbiosis with rhizobium leading to the development of nitrogen-fixing
nodules. By integrating single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics, we established a cell …

Advances in deciphering the functional architecture of eukaryotic genomes have been
facilitated by recent breakthroughs in sequencing technologies, enabling a more …

Flavonoids are crucial signaling molecules in the symbiosis between legumes and their
nitrogen-fixing symbionts, the rhizobia. The primary function of flavonoids in the interaction is …

Leghemoglobins enable the endosymbiotic fixation of molecular nitrogen (N2) in legume
nodules by channeling O2 for bacterial respiration while maintaining a micro-oxic …

New research results have significantly revised our understanding of the rhizobium–legume
infection process. For example, Nod factors (NFs), previously thought to be absolutely …

Nodules harboring nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are a well-known trait of legumes, but nodules
also occur in other plant lineages, with rhizobia or the actinomycete Frankia as …

Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …

Root responses to environmental stresses show a high level of cell type and developmental
stage specificity. Interactions with beneficial and pathogenic organisms–including microbes …
