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

Improving crop nutrient efficiency becomes an essential consideration for environmentally
friendly and sustainable agriculture. Plant growth and development is dependent on 17 …

Legumes and a few other plant species can establish a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-
fixing rhizobia, which enables them to survive in a nitrogen-deficient environment. During …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) type VI glandular trichomes that occur on the surface of
leaves, stems, young fruits and flowers produce and store a blend of volatile monoterpenes …

The endosymbiotic association between legumes and soil bacteria called rhizobia leads to
the formation of a new root-derived organ called the nodule in which differentiated bacteria …

Organogenesis of legume root nodules begins with the nodulation factor‐dependent
stimulation of compatible root cells to initiate divisions, signifying an early nodule …

NF-Ys are heterotrimeric transcription factors composed by the NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC
subunits. In plants, NF-Y subunits are encoded by multigene families whose members show …

Abstract Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y), a heterotrimeric transcription factor, is composed of NF-YA,
NF-YB and NF-YC proteins. In plants, there are usually more than 10 genes for each family …

Legume roots form two types of postembryonic organs, lateral roots and symbiotic nodules.
Nodule formation is the result of the interaction of legumes with rhizobia and requires the …

Soybean nodulation is a highly controlled process that involves complex gene regulation at
both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels. In the present study, we profiled gene …
