Background and Aims White lupin is highly adapted to growth in a low-P environment. The
objective of the present study was to evaluate whether white lupin grown under P-stress has …

White lupin plants (Lupinus albus L., cv. Multolupa) were grown hydroponically on perlite
with different Cd concentrations in the nutrient solution (μM): 0, 18 and 45. Changes in …

Symbiotic nitrogen (N2) fixation in legumes may give the host plant a distinct competitive
advantage; at the same time it is mainly responsible for introducing N into terrestrial …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation by the legume‐Rhizobium symbiosis is a finely regulated process
that involves significant carbon and energy metabolism by the plant. At present, there are …

A general introduction on non-biological and biological nitrogen fixation is followed by
sections on nitrogen fixation by legumes (covering properties of the bacterial and plant …

The mechanism through which nitrate reduces the activity of legume nodules is
controversial. The objective of the study was to follow Medicago truncatula nodule activity …

Legumes are important components of the nitrogen cycle on land. Agricultural systems have
traditionally relied much on legumes for nitrogen input because many species are able to …

A review is presented of advances recently made in studies on the structure and
mechanisms of the variable O2 diffusion barrier of legume nodules. These suggest that the …

Cadmium effects on nodule structure and changes in organic and amino acids, proteins,
nutrients and some stress indicators were studied in nodules of white lupin (Lupinus albus …
