Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

Plants associate with a wide range of microorganisms, with both detrimental and beneficial
outcomes. Central to plant survival is the ability to recognize invading microorganisms and …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

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

To overcome nitrogen deficiencies in the soil, legumes enter symbioses with rhizobial
bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. Rhizobia are accommodated as …

Advances in deciphering the functional architecture of eukaryotic genomes have been
facilitated by recent breakthroughs in sequencing technologies, enabling a more …

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

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

Rhizobium‐induced root nodules are specialized organs for symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
Indeterminate‐type nodules are formed from an apical meristem and exhibit a spatial …

Nodules harboring nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are a well-known trait of legumes, but nodules
also occur in other plant lineages, with rhizobia or the actinomycete Frankia as …
