Most legume species have the ability to establish a symbiotic relationship with soil nitrogen‐
fixing rhizobacteria that promote plant growth and productivity. There is an increasing …

Biofilms constitute the predominant microbial style of life in natural and engineered
ecosystems. Facing harsh environmental conditions, microorganisms accumulate reactive …

In living cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in signaling but these
compounds can also damage macromolecules. As in other compartments, the mitochondrial …

Abstract Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are continuously produced as a result of aerobic
metabolism or in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. ROS are not only toxic by‐products …

Rhizobial bacteria colonize legume roots for the purpose of biological nitrogen fixation. A
complex series of events, coordinated by host and bacterial signal molecules, underlie the …

In most legume nodules, the di-nitrogen (N2)-fixing rhizobia are present as organelle-like
structures inside their root host cells. Many processes operate and interact within the …

Abstract Significance: During the Legume–Rhizobium symbiosis, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
and nitric oxide (NO) appear to play an important signaling role in the establishment and the …

Several reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are continuously produced in
plants as by-products of aerobic metabolism or in response to stresses. Depending on the …

Legume plants establish an endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria, which are
taken up from the environment anew by each host generation. This requires a dedicated …

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 …
