Members of the plant family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) are unique in that they have evolved
a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia (a group of soil bacteria that can fix atmospheric …

Nucleotide metabolism operates in all living organisms, embodies an evolutionarily ancient
and indispensable complex of metabolic pathways and is of utmost importance for plant …

Globally, 800 million people are malnourished. Heavily subsidised farmers in rich countries
produce sufficient surplus food to feed the hungry, but not at a price the poor can afford …

▪ Abstract The metabolism of one-carbon (C1) units is essential to plants, and plant C1
metabolism has novel features not found in other organisms—plus some enigmas. Despite …

Folates, also known as B9 vitamins, serve as donors and acceptors in one-carbon (C1)
transfer reactions. The latter are involved in synthesis of many important biomolecules, such …

Legume-rhizobium symbiosis in root nodules fixes nitrogen to satisfy the plant's nitrogen
demands. The nodules' demand for energy is thought to determine nitrogen fixation rates …

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are not only important for cell structure
but direct and control the chemical reactions that constitute life processes. Proteins are …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and nitrogen (N) fixation through
rhizobia symbioses (RS) play a critical role for plant nutrient use efficiency in natural …

Synthesis of the purine ring is a central metabolic function of all cells. The products, AMP
and GMP, provide purine bases for DNA and RNA, as well as for a number of essential …
