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

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 …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

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

In nature, plants abundantly form beneficial associations with soilborne microbes that are
important for plant survival and, as such, affect plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning …

Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most important macronutrients required for plant
growth and development. To cope with the limited and uneven distribution of N and P in …

Cell-to-cell signaling is essential for many processes in plant growth and development,
including coordination of cellular responses to developmental and environmental cues …

Members of the plant family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) are unique in that they have evolved
a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia (a group of soil bacteria that can fix atmospheric …

Leguminous plants establish a symbiosis with rhizobia to enable nitrogen fixation in root
nodules under the control of the presumed root-to-shoot-to-root negative feedback called …
