Rhizobia are phylogenetically disparate α-and β-proteobacteria that have achieved the
environmentally essential function of fixing atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) in symbiosis with …

Legume plants are able to engage in root nodule symbiosis with nitrogen‐fixing soil
bacteria, collectively called rhizobia. This mutualistic association is highly specific, such that …

Rhizobia adopt many different lifestyles including survival in soil, growth in the rhizosphere,
attachment to root hairs and infection and growth within legume roots, both in infection …

Root–nodule symbiosis between leguminous plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia)
involves molecular communication between the two partners. Key components for the …

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—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 …

The formation of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots and/or stem of leguminous
plants involves a complex signal exchange between both partners. Since many …

The occurrence of alternative Nod factor (NF)-independent symbiosis between legumes and
rhizobia was first demonstrated in some Aeschynomene species that are nodulated by …

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 …

Legume plants form a root-nodule symbiosis with rhizobia. This symbiosis establishment
generally relies on rhizobium-produced Nod factors (NFs) and their perception by …
