However, legume crops stop producing root nodules when the soil has relatively high concentrations of nitrogen and as a result potentially miss out on producing higher yields. Scientists around ...

1. A consideration of the factors which might be responsible for the adaptation of certain strains of the legume nodule bacteria to certain species of legumes and not to others suggests that the ...

where and how iron is transported to the nodule and used for nitrogen fixation is largely unknown. In a new study, published ...

and the discovery that cobamide co-enzymes are present in the nodules of several leguminous species, as well as in the nodules of certain non-legumes 4, enhances the probability of this hypothesis.

Scientists have identified two putative plant transcription factors that are essential links in the symbiosis of rhizobial bacteria and legumes, according to two ... roles in regulating the ...

In return, legumes shelter the rhizobia in nodules on their roots and provide them with carbon. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

A UCO team has applied the genome editing technique, which garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, to unravel the ...
