IN 1946, Sabet 1 has recorded the occurrence of bacterial root-nodules in the Zygophyllaceæ. His work was mainly concerned with a study of the growth response, as well as stimulation of ...

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.

Nitrogen is essential for all plants and animals, but despite being surrounded by it—the element constitutes 79% of air on earth—only a few bacteria can absorb it directly from the environment. All ...

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 ...

UC Davis researchers engineered wheat that encourages soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable ...

Annals of Botany, New Series, Vol. 21, No. 83 (JULY 1957), pp. 439-454 (16 pages) The direct examination of the relation between inoculum size and infection rate for the nodulation of a legume is ...

Humans may learn cooperation in kindergarten, but what about bacteria, whose behavior is preprogrammed by their DNA? Some legume plants, which rely on beneficial soil bacteria called rhizobia that ...

PLANTS NEED nitrogen to make proteins and DNA. But though this element is abundant in the air, they have failed to evolve the biochemical apparatus needed to break up nitrogen molecules and combine ...

St. Paul, Minn. (July 2017)--For many years, it was believed that the only nitrogen-fixing organisms of legume nodules were rhizobia. However, there is a strikingly diverse population of non-rhizobia ...
