Un événement central dans le processus infectieux de la symbiose Rhizobium légumineuse
est la modification de la paroi cellulaire de la cellule-hôte pour former une porte d'entrée …

The tertiary and quaternary structure of the lectin I from Ulex europaeus (UE-I) has been
determined to 2.2 Å resolution. UE-I is a dimeric metalloglycoprotein that binds the H-type 2 …

Introduction of the pea (Pisum sativum L.) lectin (PSL) gene into white clover (Trifolium
repens L.) hairy roots facilitates nodulation by the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Rhizobium …

This review focuses on a comparison of plant reception of chitin oligosaccharides by
legumes and rice. Chitin oligosaccharides (dp= 6-8) released from fungal pathogens induce …

The importance of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) to world food security is unquestionable.
Since the dawn of farming, symbioses capable of BNF have been instrumental in both …

Pea has lagged behind other model legumes in the molecular study of nodulation and
mycorrhizae-formation because of the difficulty to transform its roots and its poor growth on …

Division of cortical cells in roots of leguminous plants is triggered by lipochitin
oligosaccharides (LCOs) secreted by the rhizobial microsymbiont. Previously, we have …

Symbiosis-and pathogenesis-related early protein induction patterns in the model legume
Medicago truncatula were analysed with two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis …

The interaction between legumes and rhizobial bacteria results in the formation of a unique
organ, the nodule, on roots of the host plant. The nodule has evolved to harbour the …

The large majority of plants are capable of undergoing a tight symbiosis with arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. During this symbiosis, highly specialized new structures called …
