Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria from the order Nostocales are able to establish symbiotic
relationships with diverse plant species. They are promiscuous symbionts, as the same …

Drought and extreme temperatures significantly limit chickpea productivity worldwide. The
regulation of plant programmed cell death pathways is emerging as a key component of …

De novo purine biosynthesis is required for the incorporation of fixed nitrogen in ureide
exporting nodules, as formed on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] roots. However, in many …

The gene networks surrounding Nod factor receptors that govern the symbiotic process
between legumes and rhizobia remain largely unexplored. Here, we identify 13 novel …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-
associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has been widely utilized for targeted genome …

Background The formation of infection threads in the symbiotic infection of rhizobacteria in
legumes is a unique, fascinating, and poorly understood process. Infection threads are tubes …

Background/Objectives: The balanced regulation of innate immunity plays essential roles in
rhizobial infection and the establishment and maintenance of symbiosis. The evolutionarily …

Sphingolipids, a class of amino-alcohol-based lipids, are well characterized in eukaryotes
and in some anaerobic bacteria. However, the only sphingolipids so far identified in …

The bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd) in crop and the subsequent food chain has aroused
extensive concerns. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of plant Cd tolerance …

Tomato has undergone extensive selections during domestication. Recent progress has
shown that genomic structural variants (SVs) have contributed to gene expression dynamics …
