Nodulation of legume roots typically begins with rhizobia attaching to the tip of a growing
root-hair cell. The attached rhizobia secrete Nod factors (NF), which are perceived by the …

Plant sugar will eventually be exported transporter (SWEET) sugar transporters have been
implicated in various developmental processes where sugar efflux is essential, including …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

During arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS), considerable amounts of lipids are
generated, modified and moved within the cell to accommodate the fungus in the root, and it …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS), a widespread mutualistic association of land
plants and fungi 1, is predicted to have arisen once, early in the evolution of land plants 2–4 …

Plants respond to stresses by producing a broad spectrum of bioactive specialized
metabolites. Hormonal elicitors, such as jasmonates, trigger a complex signaling circuit …

Seed longevity, the maintenance of viability during storage, is a crucial factor for
preservation of genetic resources and ensuring proper seedling establishment and high …

The root system is crucial for acquisition of resources from the soil. In legumes, the efficiency
of mineral and water uptake by the roots may be reinforced due to establishment of …

Lotus japonicus is a well-characterized model legume widely used in the study of plant-
microbe interactions. However, datasets from various Lotus studies are poorly integrated …

Most land plants have evolved a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)
fungi that improve nutrient acquisition from the soil. In return, up to 20% of host plant …
