Actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) are highly conserved small-molecule actin-binding
proteins found throughout eukaryotic cells. In land plants, ADFs form a small gene family that …

The intracellular infection thread initiated in a root hair cell is a unique structure associated
with Rhizobium-legume symbiosis. It is characterized by inverted tip growth of the plant cell …

The actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) encoded by a family of genes is highly conserved
among eukaryotes and plays critical roles in the various processes of plant growth …

Legumes enter into symbiotic associations with soil nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, culminating in
the creation of new organs, root nodules. This complex process relies on chemical and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced by NADPH oxidases known as RBOHs in plants,
play a key role in plant development, biotic and abiotic stress responses, hormone signaling …

Abstract ACTIN DEPOLYMERIZING FACTOR (ADF) is a conserved protein that regulates the
organization and dynamics of actin microfilaments. Eleven ADFs in the Arabidopsis thaliana …

Generating transgenic hairy roots has been the preferred strategy for molecular studies in
common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), since generating stable knockout lines in this species …

Symbiosis between leguminous plants and soil bacteria rhizobia is a refined type of plant–
microbial interaction that has a great importance to the global balance of nitrogen. The …

The use of cold plasma (CP) seed treatment is an emerging agricultural technology that
exhibits the potential to enhance nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in …

The VILLIN (VLN) protein is an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, which
orchestrates many developmental processes and participates in various biotic and abiotic …
