THE excretion of nitrogen compounds from leguminous root nodules which has been demonstrated in this laboratory with a sterile culture system and, from the practical point of view, investigated ...

Root nodules on hairy vetch store nitrogen captured from the air with help from Rhizobium bacteria. The stored nitrogen is released into the soil when the plant dies and decomposes in place.

A scientist has designed a novel way to increase the flow of nitrogen, an essential nutrient, from specialized bacteria in soybean root nodules to the seed-producing organs. She found the ...

The plants get some of the nitrogen they need by working with specialized bacteria in the soil. These bacteria live in root nodules. They pull nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it to a form ...

IMA peptides regulate root nodulation and nitrogen homeostasis by providing iron according to internal nitrogen status. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-44865-4 Cite ...

the plants developed fewer root nodules. When the soybean genes were knocked out, the plants developed more nodules. By taking advantage of these findings, plant breeders could develop soybeans and ...

Root nodules are commonly found on beans and other legumes. These nodules are formed by beneficial bacteria that can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a nutrient the beans can use. Bacterial ...

While symbiotic root nodules are specialized structures that are induced in response to nitrogen fixing soil bacteria in the roots of legumes, the researchers found a re-networking of pre-existing ...

Those funny little balls are root nodules. They’re filled with bacteria ... We can’t make a bunch of them and have to eat them. We need that nitrogen. Legumes form little oxygen free pockets for the ...

soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have demonstrated that the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) is essential for the formation and maturation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes and ...
