Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is
induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated …

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

Rhizobia are some of the best-studied plant microbiota. These oligotrophic
Alphaproteobacteria or Betaproteobacteria form symbioses with their legume hosts …

Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and
together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the …

Legumes are able to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called
rhizobia. The result of this symbiosis is to form nodules on the plant root, within which the …

The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobia in legume root nodules injects approximately 40
million tonnes of nitrogen into agricultural systems each year. In exchange for reduced …

Rhizobial bacteria enter a symbiotic association with leguminous plants, resulting in
differentiated bacteria enclosed in intracellular compartments called symbiosomes within …

Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium-legume symbioses represents an environmentally
friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers in legume …
