Root secretion and plant immunity are key factors in controlling the assembly of root-associated microbiotas of which rhizobia are key members Rhizobia exist in soil and compete with the general ...

I have received a deluge (pun intended) of questions regarding the overall lack of soybean nodulation and general pale green ...

Black beans are a nutritious, soil-enriching legume ideal for small farmers. With low input needs, resilience, and growing demand for plant protein, they offer high market potential. Their health ...

A research team has identified three rhizobia strains, Rhizobium sp. TZSR12C, Rhizobium sp. TZSR25B, and Bradyrhizobium sp. TZSR41A, which effectively suppressed root rot fungal pathogens in ...

The newly-discovered bacterial symbiont is closely related to the nitrogen-fixing Rhizobia which live in partnership with many crop plants and may open up new avenues to engineer nitrogen-fixing ...

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.

Rhizobia, the soil bacteria in question, form a symbiotic relationship with the soybeans to create nodules and fix nitrogen all season long. But sometimes soil might not have enough rhizobia for ...

A research team identified three rhizobia strains, Rhizobium sp. TZSR12C, Rhizobium sp. TZSR25B, and Bradyrhizobium sp. TZSR41A, which effectively suppressed root rot fungal pathogens in soybeans ...

Rhizobia then produce Nod factors, oligosaccharides that elicit dramatic alterations in the gene expression and metabolism of both organisms. In the past few ...

They discovered that the absence of legume-rhizobia symbiosis causes drastic changes in the composition of the microbial communities present in the root. These changes also remain stable under ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, now report that Rhizobia can also form similar partnerships with tiny marine plants called diatoms – a discovery ...
