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 ...
New findings show that a micro RNA from the shoot keeps legume roots susceptible to symbiotic infection by downregulating a gene that would otherwise hinder root responses to symbiotic bacteria. These ...
Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...

Nitrate transport into nodulated plants of soybean (Glycine max), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and faba bean (Vicia faba) was investigated. Nitrate entering the root system of soybean did not pass out ...
All aerobic biological systems, including N2-fixing root nodules, are subject to O2 toxicity that results from the formation of reactive intermediates such as H2O2 and free radicals of O2. H2O2 may be ...
