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 …

Grain legumes are an important component of sustainable agri-food systems. They establish
symbiotic association with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, thus reducing the use …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that are able to colonize
rhizosphere and to enhance plant growth by means of a wide variety of mechanisms like …

Nitric oxide (NO), a colorless gaseous molecule, is a lipophilic free radical that easily
diffuses through the plasma membrane. These characteristics make NO an ideal autocrine …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria are commonly found in the rhizosphere (adjacent to
the root surface) and may promote plant growth via several diverse mechanisms, including …

During the past two decades, nitric oxide (NO) has evolved from a mere gaseous free radical
to become a new messenger in plant biology with an important role in a plethora of …

Nitric oxide (NO) is currently considered a ubiquitous signal in plant systems, playing
significant roles in a wide range of responses to environmental and endogenous cues …

The symbiotic interaction between rhizobia and legumes that leads to nodule formation is a
complex chemical conversation involving plant release of nod-gene inducing signal …

This important book provides a comprehensive review of our current knowledge of the
world's leguminous plants and their symbiotic bacteria. Written by Professor Janet Sprent, a …
