LSH1/LSH2 are required to make nodules an infectable and habitable organ for rhizobial bacteria: Confocal image of WT and lsh1/lsh2 roots 24 and 72 hpi with S. meliloti (n > 30 per genotype and time ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers demonstrate that the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) is essential for the formation and maturation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes and can also increase nodule size. Researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
