Recent research on Lotus japonicus, a model leguminous plant, has unveiled that the interaction between legume roots and rhizobia is characterized by periodic gene expression with a six-hour rhythm.

How these rhizobia bacteria-hosting nodules formed ... including triggering it in non-leguminous plants. In a subsequent study, Wang and his team further elucidated the molecular mechanisms ...

Leguminous plants have a mechanism (rhizobial symbiosis) to efficiently acquire nitrogen, which is an essential macronutrient for growth, through the nitrogen-fixing bacteria rhizobia. Root ...

Researchers in the group of Dr Myriam Charpentier discovered a mutation in a gene in the legume ... of the plant so that it enhances partnerships with nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia ...

Farmers growing leguminous crops, the hosts for the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria, can and should improve nitrogen by inoculating their legume crops with more of the bacteria. Grasslands ...
