Since last century or so anthropogenic activities have intensely metamorphosed the earth's
ecosystem and resulted into major environmental changes. Widespread interference of …

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 …

Members of the plant family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) are unique in that they have evolved
a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia (a group of soil bacteria that can fix atmospheric …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is highly sensitive to drought, which results in decreased N
accumulation and yield of legume crops. The effects of drought stress on N2 fixation usually …

Plants of chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. ILC1919) inoculated with Mesorhizobium ciceri
strain ch-191 were grown in a controlled environmental chamber, and were administered …

▪ Abstract Infection of legume roots or stems with soil bacteria of the Rhizobiaceae results in
the formation of nodules that become symbiotic nitrogen-fixing organs. Within the infected …

Nitrogen fixation within legume nodules results from a complex metabolic exchange
between bacteria of the family Rhizobiaciae and the plant host. Carbon is supplied to the …

Research on legume nodule metabolism has contributed greatly to our knowledge of
primary carbon and nitrogen metabolism in plants in general, and in symbiotic nitrogen …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) by intracellular rhizobia within legume root nodules
requires the exchange of nutrients between host plant cells and their resident bacteria. Little …

In this review, we consider the exchange of nutrients between the host plant and the
bacterial microsymbiont in nitrogen-fixing legume root nodules. During nodule formation, the …
