Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

Since 1999, various forward-and reverse-genetic approaches have uncovered nearly 200
genes required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in legumes. These discoveries …

To overcome nitrogen deficiencies in the soil, legumes enter symbioses with rhizobial
bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. Rhizobia are accommodated as …

Legumes, unlike other plants, have the ability to establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing
rhizobia. It has been theorized that a unique property of legume root cortical cells enabled …

Most land plants benefit from endosymbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi, including
legumes and some nonlegumes that also interact with endosymbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing …

Establishing legume–rhizobial symbiosis requires precise coordination of complex
responses in a time-and cell type-specific manner. Encountering Rhizobium, rapid changes …

Medicago truncatula is a model legume species that has been studied for decades to
understand the symbiotic relationship between legumes and soil bacteria collectively named …

Biological nitrogen fixation in legumes occurs in nodules that are initiated in the root cortex
following Nod factor recognition at the root surface, and this requires coordination of diverse …

Plants form a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which facilitates
the acquisition of scarce minerals from the soil. In return, the host plants provide sugars and …

Symbiosis between soybean (Glycine max) and rhizobia is essential for efficient nitrogen
fixation. Rhizobial effectors secreted through the type-III secretion system are key for …
