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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Combined light and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the effect of nitrate on the development of root nodules in lucerne ...

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 ...

Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...

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 ...

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.

Scientists discover the genetics inside legumes that control the production of an oxygen-carrying molecule, crucial to the plant's close relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Researchers at the ...

Horrors! The VegHeadz Demonstration Garden at the UF/IFAS Extension Leon County office has a plague of nematodes. The mention of nematodes is among those things such as bacterial wilt and nut sedge ...
