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 …

Background High input costs and environmental pressures to reduce nitrogen use in
agriculture have increased the competitive advantage of legume crops. The symbiotic …

The role of MtCEP1, a member of the CEP (C-terminally encoded peptide) signaling peptide
family, was examined in Medicago truncatula root development. MtCEP1 was expressed in …

Salinity stress adversely affects root nodulation symbiotic relationships, and ultimately the
nitrogen fixation capacity and the growth and yield of leguminous plants. Improving growth …

Leguminous plants can establish symbiotic associations with diazotropic rhizobia to form
nitrogen‐fixating nodules, which are classified as determinate or indeterminate based on the …

Substantial progress has been made in the understanding of early stages of the symbiotic
interaction between legume plants and rhizobium bacteria. Those include the specific …

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 …

Plant adaptive potential is critically dependent upon efficient communication and co-
ordination of resource allocation and signalling between above-and below-ground plant …

Secreted peptide hormones play pivotal roles in plant growth and development. So far,
CEPs (C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDEs) have been shown to act through CEP …

Abstract C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDEs (CEPs) control root system architecture in a
non-cell-autonomous manner. In Medicago truncatula, MtCEP1 affects root development by …
