Peas and other legumes develop spherical or cylindrical structures -- called nodules -- in their roots to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen ...
In a study published in Science, researchers have resolved, for the first time, the high-resolution crystal structure of the complex formed between the NodD protein of pea rhizobia and a flavonoid ...
Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialized root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...
Figure 2. enod40-1-2/1 nodules have wild type-like morphology and MtENOD40 and MtNF-YA1 have similar spatial expression patterns during nodule primordium formation. A. Longitudinal plastic sections (7 ...
