Biological response modifiers (BRMs) are substances which augment immune response.
BRMs can be cytokines which are produced endogenously in our body by immune cells or …

Rhizobia—a diverse group of soil bacteria—induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules
on the roots of legumes. Nodulation begins when the roots initiate a molecular dialogue with …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, is one of the most important food crops in the
world. High soybean yields require large amounts of N fertilizers, which are expensive and …

Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) fredii (S. fredii) is a rhizobial species exhibiting a remarkably broad
nodulation host-range. Thus, S. fredii is able to effectively nodulate dozens of different …

Glycine max (soybean) plants can be nodulated by fast-growing rhizobial strains of the
genus Sinorhizobium as well as by slow-growing strains clustered in the genus …

Molecular signals, including Nod factors and succinoglycan, are necessary for the
establishment of nitrogen-fixing nodules (Fix+) in Medicago truncatula-Sinorhizobium …

A methyl (Me) group on a sugar residue is a rarely reported event. Until now, this type of
modification has been found in the animal kingdom only in worms and molluscs, whereas it …

Many early molecular events in symbiotic infection have been documented, although factors
enabling Rhizobium to progress within the plant-derived infection thread and ultimately …

Two novel triterpene holostane glycosides, synaptosides A (1) and A1 (2), have been
isolated from the Vietnamese sea cucumber Synapta maculata (Synaptida, Apodida). Their …

The structural variation of symbiotic signals released by rhizobia determines the specificity of
their interaction with legume plants. Previous studies showed that Sinorhizobium strains …
