However, the uncontrolled formation of numerous root nodules can impede root function. To prevent this, legumes need to regulate the distribution and number of root nodules, but the precise ...

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 ...

Question: I can grow beans by the bushel up North, but my garden in Florida produces handfuls of runty beans on stunted yellow plants. When I pull them up, the roots have hundreds of nodules.

These root nodules help the plant gain nitrogen, one of the three main macronutrients plants need (N (nitrogen), P (phosphorous) and K (potassium)). Most nitrogen is part of the atmosphere. In fact ...
