Legume plants regulate their symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria by using cytokinins—signaling molecules that are transmitted through the plant structure from leaves into the roots to control ...

Legume root nodules originate from differentiated cortical cells that reenter the cell cycle and form organ primordia. We show that perception of the phytohormone cytokinin is a key element in this ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Plant breeders could theoretically increase soybean crop yields if they could control the number of nodules on plant roots since they are responsible for fixing atmospheric ...

Most scientific research on the root-soil interactions of legumes focuses on rhizobia and nitrogen-fixing root nodules. However, many forms of non-rhizobia bacteria are also detected in these nodules.

Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialised root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...

Her greenhouse-grown soybean plants fix twice as much nitrogen from the atmosphere as their natural counterparts, grow larger and produce up to 36 percent more seeds. Tegeder designed a novel way to ...

Many leguminous plant species establish a symbiotic association with rhizobia that induces the formation of nodules on roots. This symbiosis enables nitrogen fixation in the nodules and is beneficial ...

The objectives of this study were (a): to define the effects of light, dark, and temperature on nodule activity (acetylene reduction), and (b) to establish the contributions of reserve carbohydrate ...

Visual assessment of the accuracy of the (semi) automatic segmentation of soybean nodule vasculature using Biomedisa’s smart interpolation algorithm. A research team used synchrotron-based X-ray ...

THE red pigment in the root nodules of a leguminous plant (Vicia Faba) was investigated for the first time by Pietz 1. He believed it to be identical with the red intermediate product which appears ...

A new study shows that legume plants regulate their symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria by using cytokinins—signaling molecules—that are transmitted through the plant structure from leaves into ...
