A bstract Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, bacteria from the family Rhizobiaceae establish
a symbiosis with leguminous plants to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules. These organs …

Four mutants of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae VF39 altered in lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) synthesis were isolated upon random Tn5 mutagenesis. These mutants produced …

Griffonia simplicifolia leaf lectin II (GSII), a plant defense protein against certain insects,
consists of an N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)-binding large subunit with a small subunit …

We have characterized anArabidopsisreceptor-like serine/threonine kinase gene, Ath.
lecRK1 (Arabidopsis thalianalectin-receptor kinase), defining a new and putatively important …

The structure of phytohemagglutinin-L (PHA-L), a leucoagglutinating seed lectin from
Phaseolus vulgaris, has been solved with molecular replacement using the coordinates of …

Abstract Rhizobia-secreted Nod-factors (NFs) are required for nodulation. In the early
developmental process of nodulation, a large number of changes occur in gene expression …

Many wild and cultivated plants accumulate so-called lectins' or agglutinins in their seeds or
vegetative tissues. For the sake of simplicity lectins can be defined as (glyco) proteins which …

The shrimp Rimicaris exoculata from hydrothermal vents on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR)
harbours bacterial epibionts on specialized appendages and the inner surfaces of its gill …

Legume plants establish a symbiotic association with bacteria called rhizobia, resulting in
the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. A Lotus japonicus symbiotic mutant, sen1 …

Infection of soybean root hairs by Bradyrhizobium japonicum is the first of several complex
events leading to nodulation. In the current proteomic study, soybean root hairs after …
