The rhizobia comprise a diverse group of organisms that elicit hypertrophic growth on the
roots of legume plants to form a new organ, the root nodule, which they inhabit to fix …

Rhizobium and its allies (Azorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Sinorhizobium) are Gram-
negative bacteria that cause the development of root (and sometimes stem) nodules on …

During the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules, the establishment of the symbiotic
relationsgip between rhizobia and leguminous plants depends on a highly specific …

Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium strains, collectively referred to as rhizobia,
elicit on their leguminous hosts, in a specific manner, the formation of nodules in which they …

Rhizobia induce the formation of root nodules on the roots of leguminous plants. In
temperate legumes, nodule organogenesis starts with the induction of cell divisions in …

The symbiotic root nodule, an organ formed on leguminous plants, is a product of successful
interactions between the host plant and the soil bacteria, Rhizobium spp. Plant hormones …

An overview of data on plant morphogenesis and nodulin gene expression elicited by
Rhizobium symbiotic signals and on diverse mechanisms for nodulin regulation during …

The formation of nodules on leguminous plants depends on a highly specific exchange of
signals between plant and bacteria. These nodules are usually induced on roots, although …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the Cell and molecular biology of Rhizobium-
plant interactions. Soil bacteria, referred to as rhizobia belonging to the genera Rhizobium …

Many legumes respond to Rhizobium inoculation by developing unique structures known as
nodules on their roots. The development of a legume nodule in which rhizobia convert …
