Symbiotic bacteria, commonly called rhizobia, lead a saprophytic lifestyle in the soil and
form nitrogen-fixing nodules on legume roots. During their lifecycle, rhizobia have to adapt to …

In most agricultural systems, the primary source of biologically fixed N 2 takes place through
the symbiotic interactions of legumes and rhizobia bacteria. As a collective name, rhizobia …

The root nodule symbiosis established between legumes and rhizobia is an exquisite
biological interaction responsible for fixing a significant amount of nitrogen in terrestrial …

Nitrogen fixation is an important biological process in terrestrial ecosystems and for global
crop production. Legume nodulation and N2 fixation have been improved using nodule …

Background Nitrogen is an essential nutrient in plant growth. The ability of a plant to supply
all or part of its requirements from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) thanks to interactions …

Biological nitrogen fixation gives legumes a pronounced growth advantage in nitrogen-
deprived soils and is of considerable ecological and economic interest. In exchange for …

Legume-rhizobium symbiosis is an exquisite mutualistic interaction responsible for nitrogen
(N 2) fixation in the terrestrial ecosystems. In this symbiosis, specialized root nodules are …

Plants colonized by Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) greatly enhance Phosphorus (P)
and Nitrogen (N) acquisition, especially by extra radical mycelium. On the other hand, soil …

Nitrogen is an essential element of life, and nitrogen availability often limits crop yields.
Since the Green Revolution, massive amounts of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers have been …

Nitrogen (N) is essential for life, but eukaryotes lack the ability to access this element, as
only prokaryotic enzymes can convert N to ammonia. The Haber-Bosch process …
