Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

C and N are the most important essential elements constituting organic compounds in
plants. The shoots and roots depend on each other by exchanging C and N through the …

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 …

Legumes represent some of the most important crop species worldwide. They are able to
form novel root organs known as nodules, within which biological nitrogen fixation is …

Abstract Background Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is grown throughout the world and
comprises roughly 50% of the grain legumes consumed worldwide. Despite this, genetic …

Abiotic and biotic stresses constrain plant growth and development negatively impacting
crop production. Plants have developed stress-specific adaptations as well as simultaneous …

Legumes form symbiotic relationship with root-nodule, rhizobia. The nitrogen (N 2) fixed by
legumes is a renewable source and of great importance to agriculture. Symbiotic nitrogen …

All lateral organ development in plants, such as nodulation in legumes, requires the
temporal and spatial regulation of genes and gene networks. A total mRNA profiling …

Mechanisms inhibiting legume nodulation by low soil pH, although highly prevalent and
economically significant, are poorly understood. We addressed this in soybean (Glycine …

The two major vascular conduits in plants, the xylem and phloem, theoretically provide
opportunities for the long‐distance translocation of almost any type of water‐borne …
