The formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on legumes requires an integration of infection by
rhizobia at the root epidermis and the initiation of cell division in the cortex, several cell …

The formation of a nitrogen-fixing nodule involves two diverse developmental processes in
the legume root: infection thread initiation in epidermal cells and nodule primordia formation …

The legume-rhizobium symbiosis results in nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and their formation
involves both intracellular infection initiated in the epidermis and nodule organogenesis …

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

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 …

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 …

Nitrogen is a major determinant of plant growth and productivity and the ability of legumes to
form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria allows legumes to exploit …

Legumes represent some of the most important crop species worldwide. They are able to
form novel root organs known as nodules, within which biological nitrogen fixation is …

Nitrogen fixing bacteria, collectively referred to as rhizobia, are able to trigger the
organogenesis of a new organ on legumes, the nodule. The morphogenetic trigger is a …

Global demand to increase food production and simultaneously reduce synthetic nitrogen
fertilizer inputs in agriculture are underpinning the need to intensify the use of legume crops …
