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 …

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

Strigolactones are rhizosphere signals and phytohormones that play crucial roles in plant
development. They are also well known for their role in integrating nitrate and phosphate …

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 …

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 …

Plants have lived in close association with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi for over 400
million years. Today, this endosymbiosis occurs broadly in the plant kingdom where it has a …

The default mineral nutrient acquisition strategy of land plants is the symbiosis with
arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. Research into the cell and developmental biology of AM …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a root endosymbiosis between plants and glomeromycete
fungi. It is the most widespread terrestrial plant symbiosis, improving plant uptake of water …

Nitrogen-fixing rhizobia colonize legume roots via plant-made intracellular infection threads.
Genetics has identified some genes involved but has not provided sufficient detail to …
