Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium-legume symbioses represents an environmentally
friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers in legume …

For over a century, the scientific community has had a comprehensive understanding of how
rhizobia can promote the growth of legumes by forming nitrogen fixing nodules. Despite this …

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 …

The study of the organ structure of plants and understanding their physiological complexity
requires 3D imaging with subcellular resolution. Most plant organs are highly opaque to …

Formins are a large, evolutionarily old family of cytoskeletal regulators whose roles include
actin capping and nucleation, as well as modulation of microtubule dynamics. The plant …

This paper focuses on the use of quantum dots in plant biology as indicators of organic N
and inorganic P uptake by, and distribution within, plants, including those with mycorrhizal …

Leguminous plants have established mutualistic endosymbiotic interactions with nitrogen-
fixing rhizobia to secure nitrogen sources in root nodules. Before nodule formation, the …

Most plants interact with various soil microorganisms as they grow through the soil. Root
nodule symbiosis by legumes and rhizobia is a well-known phenomenon of plant–microbe …

Main conclusion Soybean contains a group of 64 L-type lectin receptor-like kinases. Three
LecRKs were involved in the interactions with Phytophthora sojae and Bradyrhizobium …

Background & Aims Tissue-clearing and three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques aid
clinical histopathological evaluation; however, further methodological developments are …
