Mechanisms underlying legume–rhizobium symbioses
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 …

Celebrating 20 years of genetic discoveries in legume nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation
Since 1999, various forward-and reverse-genetic approaches have uncovered nearly 200
genes required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in legumes. These discoveries …

Light-induced mobile factors from shoots regulate rhizobium-triggered soybean root nodulation
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is an energy-expensive process, and the light available to plants
has been proposed to be a primary influencer. We demonstrate that the light-induced …

NODULE INCEPTION recruits the lateral root developmental program for symbiotic nodule organogenesis in Medicago truncatula
To overcome nitrogen deficiencies in the soil, legumes enter symbioses with rhizobial
bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium. Rhizobia are accommodated as …

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

Dancing to a different tune, can we switch from chemical to biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable food security?
MY Jhu, GED Oldroyd - PLoS Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Our current food production systems are unsustainable, driven in part through the
application of chemically fixed nitrogen. We need alternatives to empower farmers to …
