Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Combined light and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the effect of nitrate on the development of root nodules in lucerne ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, Vol. 156, No. 962 (May 15, 1962), pp. 122-137 (16 pages) The infection of the root hairs of young seedlings of twelve species ...
WHEN a legume root is infected by the nodule organism, the formation of the young nodule is brought about by the multiplication and growth in size of the root-cells, principally in the cortex. In ...
Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialised root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Plant breeders could theoretically increase soybean crop yields if they could control the number of nodules on plant roots since they are responsible for fixing atmospheric ...
Recent research on Lotus japonicus, a model leguminous plant, has unveiled that the interaction between legume roots and rhizobia is characterized by periodic gene expression with a six-hour rhythm.
The developmental regulators that confer the identity of N-fixing root nodules belong to a transcription factor family (LSH) more commonly associated with defining the shapes of stems, flowers and ...
