Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium species are able to elicit the formation of
unique structures, called nodules, on the roots or stems of the leguminous host. In these …

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 …

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that bind glycans of glycoproteins, glycolipids, or
polysaccharides with high affinity (Goldstein and Hayes, 1978). Because of their binding …

Growing insights into the many roles of glycoconjugates in biorecognition as ligands for
lectins indicates a need to compare plant and animal lectins. Furthermore, the popularity of …

The first edition of this book, published by University Press of New England in 1986, sold
over 2500 copies, and was received as the best introductory overview of this broad field …

Diverse interactions between hosts and microbes are initiated by the detection of host-
released chemical signals. Detection of these signals leads to altered patterns of gene …

The onset of nodule development, the result of rhizobia–legume symbioses, is determined
by the exchange of chemical compounds between microsymbiont and leguminous host …

Legume–Rhizobium symbiosis is an example of selective cell recognition controlled by
host/non‐host determinants. Individual bacterial strains have a distinct host range enabling …

Numerous reports have been published on the occurrence, isolation, and characterization of
phenolic compounds in plant‐soil systems. The low molecular weight phenolics are of great …
