Until recently, understanding the regulatory behavior of cells has been pursued through
independent analysis of the transcriptome or the proteome. Based on the central dogma, it …

There is a growing appreciation for the important roles microorganisms play in association
with plants. Microorganisms are drawn to distinct plant surfaces by the nutrient-rich …

Legumes obtain nitrogen from air through rhizobia residing in root nodules. Some species of
rhizobia can colonize cereals but do not fix nitrogen on them. Disabling native regulation …

Introduction: Plants do not grow in isolation, rather they are hosts to a variety of microbes in
their natural environments. While, few thrive in the plants for their own benefit, others may …

Discovering the gene expression signature associated with a cellular state is one of the
basic quests in majority of biological studies. For most of the clinical and cellular …

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have long been recognized as having a significant impact
ranging from commercial to health domains. A vast amount of research has been carried out …

Plants in their natural habitats are surrounded by a large number of microorganisms. Some
microbes directly interact with plants in a mutually beneficial manner whereas others …

The rhizobium–legume symbiosis is a major source of fixed nitrogen (ammonia) in the
biosphere. The potential for this process to increase agricultural yield while reducing the …

Legumes overcome nitrogen shortage by develo** root nodules in which symbiotic
bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen in exchange for host-derived carbohydrates and mineral …

Nitrogen‐fixing symbioses allow legumes to thrive in nitrogen‐poor soils at the cost of
diverting some photoassimilate to their microsymbionts. Effort is being made to bioengineer …
