To suppress plant immunity and promote the intracellular infection required for fixing
nitrogen for the benefit of their legume hosts, many rhizobia use type III secretion systems …

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can establish a symbiotic association with legumes. As a
result, plant nodules are formed on the roots of the host plants where rhizobia differentiate to …

The specific interaction between rhizobia and legume roots leads to the development of a
highly regulated process called nodulation, by which the atmospheric nitrogen is converted …

Symbiosis between soybean and rhizobia contributes to soybean yield and quality. Although
secreted rhizobial type III effectors are known to regulate infection and promote nitrogen …

Bacteria can spread on surfaces to colonize new environments and access more resources.
Rhizobia, a group of α-and β-Proteobacteria, establish nitrogen-fixing symbioses with …

Introduction The establishment of the rhizobium-legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis relies on
the interchange of molecular signals between the two symbionts. We have previously …

Gram-negative bacteria can produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), and most functional
studies of OMVs have been focused on mammalian-bacterial interactions. However …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation provides most of the nitrogen required for soybean growth.
Rhizobial nodulation outer proteins (Nops) have been reported to influence host specificity …

Many bacteria of the genus Bradyrhizobium are capable of inducing nodules in legumes. In
this work, the importance of a type VI secretion system (T6SS) in a symbiotic strain of the …
