The nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between legume plants and Rhizobium bacteria is the most
prominent plant–microbe endosymbiotic system and, together with mycorrhizal fungi, has …

Engineering nitrogen-fixing cereals is essential for sustainable food production for the
projected global population of 9 billion people in 2050. This process will require engineering …

The nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between Sinorhizobium meliloti and its leguminous host plant
Medicago truncatula occurs in a specialized root organ called the nodule. Bacteria that are …

Legumes form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi and nitrogen fixing root
nodule bacteria. Intracellular root infection by either endosymbiont is controlled by the …

The legume plant Medicago truncatula establishes a symbiosis with the nitrogen-fixing
bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti which takes place in root nodules. The formation of …

Symbiotic rhizobia differentiate physiologically and morphologically into nitrogen-fixing
bacteroids inside legume host nodules. The differentiation is apparently terminal in some …

When rhizobia differentiate inside legume host nodules to become nitrogen‐fixing
bacteroids, they undergo a physiological as well as a morphological transformation. These …

Background Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae mutants unable to transport branched-
chain amino acids via the two main amino acid ABC transport complexes AapJQMP and …

Plants can establish intracellular interactions with symbiotic as well as pathogenic microbes.
Such intracellular accommodation of microbes always involves the formation of a host …

Root nodule (RN) symbiosis in legumes shares genes involved in the early signaling
pathway with more ancient arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis, which is widespread in …
