Development of the root system, appearance of nodules, and relationships between these two processes were studied on pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Solara). Plants were grown in growth cabinets for 4 ...
Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have developed wheat plants that stimulate the production of their own fertilizer, opening the path toward less air and water pollution worldwide and ...
In vivo CO2 fixation activity and in vitro phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity were demonstrated in effective and ineffective nodules of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and in the nodules of four ...
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 ...
Root nodule symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria provide many plants with a source of nitrogen. This study uncovers evidence that changes in the gene SYMRK were involved in the evolution of this ...
Ecuadorian bean plants rely on helpful bacteria to convert air nitrogen into plant food. A new study found diverse native bacteria groups, some more effective than common commercial products, adapting ...
Visual assessment of the accuracy of the (semi) automatic segmentation of soybean nodule vasculature using Biomedisa’s smart interpolation algorithm. A research team used synchrotron-based X-ray ...
Most scientific research on the root-soil interactions of legumes focuses on rhizobia and nitrogen-fixing root nodules. However, many forms of non-rhizobia bacteria are also detected in these nodules.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Plant breeders could theoretically increase soybean crop yields if they could control the number of nodules on plant roots since they are responsible for fixing atmospheric ...
THE red pigment in the root nodules of a leguminous plant (Vicia Faba) was investigated for the first time by Pietz 1. He believed it to be identical with the red intermediate product which appears ...
Raspberries are full of thorns, and as such, proper protective gear should be worn during harvest. This weekend one of my favorite spring vegetables had to end it’s short life. Back in April I planted ...
