Rhizobia are soil proteobacteria able to engage in a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic interaction
with legumes that involves the rhizobial infection of roots and the bacterial invasion of new …

Rhizobia are Gram-negative bacteria that can exist either as free-living bacteria or as
nitrogen-fixing symbionts inside root nodules of leguminous plants. The composition of the …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, is one of the most important food crops in the
world. High soybean yields require large amounts of N fertilizers, which are expensive and …

To defend against microbial invaders but also to establish symbiotic programs, plants need
to detect the presence of microbes through the perception of molecular signatures …

Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) fredii (S. fredii) is a rhizobial species exhibiting a remarkably broad
nodulation host-range. Thus, S. fredii is able to effectively nodulate dozens of different …

This review is the sixth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings …

Legume-nodulating rhizobia use N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) to regulate several
physiological traits related to the symbiotic plant–microbe interaction. In this work, we show …

Glycine max (soybean) plants can be nodulated by fast-growing rhizobial strains of the
genus Sinorhizobium as well as by slow-growing strains clustered in the genus …

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 is a fast-growing rhizobial strain infecting a broad range of
legumes including both American and Asiatic soybeans. In this work, we present the …

Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 secretes through the type III secretion system at least eight
nodulation outer proteins (Nops), including the effector NopP. These proteins are necessary …
