Legume root nodules are sites of intense biochemical activity and consequently are at high
risk of damage as a result of the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive …

Many plants are able to develop mutualistic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
and/or nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Whereas the former is widely distributed among most of the …

Worldwide, metals have been distributed to excessive levels in the environment due to
industrial and agricultural activities. Plants growing on soils contaminated with excess levels …

Legumes establish symbioses with rhizobia by forming nitrogen‐fixing nodules. Nitrate is a
major environmental factor that affects symbiotic functioning. However, the molecular …
