In a study published in Science, researchers have resolved, for the first time, the high-resolution crystal structure of the ...

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 ...

In a study published in Science on January 9, the teams of Jeremy Murray and ZHANG Yu from the Center for Excellence in ...

Researchers demonstrate that the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) is essential for the formation and maturation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes and can also increase nodule size. Researchers ...

Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialised root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...

The effect of exogenous applications of gibberellins (GAs) or the growth retardant ß-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC) on root nodule formation and activity (C₂H₂-reduction) in soya was ...
