Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is
induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated …

In this year there is the 40th anniversary of the first publication of plant nitric oxide (NO)
emission by Lowell Klepper. In the decades since then numerous milestone discoveries …

Background and aims After a series of seminal works during the last decade of the 20th
century, nitric oxide (NO) is now firmly placed in the pantheon of plant signals. Nitric oxide …

A decade-long investigation of nitric oxide (NO) functions in plants has led to its
characterization as a biological mediator involved in key physiological processes. Despite …

Polymeric materials releasing nitric oxide have attracted significant attention for therapeutic
use in recent years. As one of the gaseous signaling agents in eukaryotic cells …

The symbiosis between legumes and nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia leads to the
formation of root nodules. Nodules are highly organized root organs that form in response to …

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 …

The analysis of plant–pathogen interactions is a rapidly moving research field and one that
is very important for productive agricultural systems. The focus of this review is on the …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling and defense molecule of major importance in living
organisms. In the model legume Medicago truncatula, NO production has been detected in …

Germination ability is regulated by a combination of environmental and endogenous signals
with both synergistic and antagonistic effects. Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent dormancy …
