The symbiosis between leguminous plants and rhizobia, which involves the formation of root and sometimes shoot nodules within which the bacteria differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids ...

Bacteria inside root nodules need oxygen to survive. A pink or red color inside a nodule indicates the oxygen supply is robust and the bacteria are thriving. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Sixty percent of nitrogen in land plants and animals arrives by way of bacteria that live in special root nodules of leguminous plants, such as soybeans. These bacteria convert or ‘fix ...

The specific interaction of the bacteria with alfalfa root hairs results in the development of root nodules, differentiated plant structures containing intracellular bacteria. These bacteria reduce ...

The key to their success is a type of bacteria called rhizobia, which lives inside nodules, or the little nubs you sometimes see on plant roots. While we usually think of bacteria as dangerous ...

The accommodation of nitrogen fixing bacteria is endosymbiotic, inside specialized cells in the root nodule and requires three key processes: 1) the recognition of the bacteria as friends, 2 ...

Legumes benefit from the symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria under nitrogen-limiting conditions. The bacteria enter the plant through root hairs and trigger the formation of nodules in which ...

Most studies on the genesis of polymetallic nodules suggested that nodules in the South China Sea (SCS) are hydrogenetic; however, the complexity and the heterogeneity in hydrology and geochemistry of ...

These beneficial bacteria are housed in root nodules formed on legume roots. However, the uncontrolled formation of numerous root nodules can impede root function. To prevent this, legumes need to ...

Since gaseous nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere and is continually replenished, the supply remains constant. Nitrogen fixation occurs in the root nodule. Rhizobium bacteria from ...
