Root nodule endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria provides plants with unlimited
access to fixed nitrogen, but at a significant energetic cost. Nodulation is generally …

Plants associate with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to secure nitrogen, which is generally the most
limiting nutrient for plant growth. Endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing associations are widespread …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

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 …

Legume plants can assimilate inorganic nitrogen and have access to fixed nitrogen through
symbiotic interaction with diazotrophic bacteria called rhizobia. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is …

Agricultural practices contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases such as
nitrous oxide that are mainly derived from nitrogen fertilizers. Therefore, understanding …

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important crops world‐wide. Under low nitrogen
(N) condition, soybean can form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia to acquire sufficient N …

Root nodules formed by plants of the nitrogen-fixing clade (NFC) are symbiotic organs that
function in the maintenance and metabolic integration of large populations of nitrogen-fixing …

The root nodule symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is a fascinating trait
limited to several plant species. Given the agronomic potential of transferring this symbiosis …
