Then rhizobia penetrate the root hairs and typically form a ... nodule cell cytoplasm would inhibit the levels of nitrogen fixation in the nodule. Leghemoglobin seems to transport enough oxygen ...

“We found the molecular mechanisms through which light regulates legume-rhizobia symbiotic root nodule formation and nitrogen fixation,” says Wang. “Through this mechanism, legumes can ...

Root nodules are organs on plant roots that facilitate ... Iron is needed for the enzymes that catalyze nitrogen fixation; ...

Nodules on the roots of peas and beans help the plant to secure its own nitrogen, reducing the need for artificial fertiliser. Professor Giles Oldroyd's group is researching how this could be ...

Beans are a key food at the dietary level, boasting high nutritional value and constituting the most directly consumed legume ...

Nitrogen fixation by soybean decreases exponentially as N application rate increases, such that application of 45 lb/ac N can lead to a 40% or greater reduction in N fixation over the maximum ...

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