Cytokinin regulates many aspects of plant development, and in legume crops, this phytohormone is necessary and sufficient for symbiotic nodule organogénesis, allowing them to fix atmospheric nitrogen.

What can we learn from sending codependent bacteria and plants into space? Quite a bit, it would appear. An experiment with the tongue-twisting name Symbiotic Nodulation in a Reduced Gravity ...

Rhizobia — a diverse group of soil bacteria — induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of legumes. Nodulation begins when the roots initiate a molecular dialogue with compatible ...

Scientists have long known that nodulation is important to plant health. Nodulation occurs when nodules, which form on the roots of plants (primarily legumes), form a symbiotic relationship with ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. In summary, these phenotypic analysis revealed that MtGα1 and MtGβ1 play important roles in plant growth and development, whereas MtRGS1 contributes to these ...

Among subfamilies in the Fabaceae, the capacity to form root nodules is most common in the Papilionoideae. Yet nodules have never been observed on species of Cladrastis, and there are conflicting ...

QinetiQ North America today announced the results of its first Symbiotic Nodulation in a Reduced Gravity Environment (SyNRGE) experiment, which studied the effects of microgravity on host plant and ...
