Scientists have long known that nodulation is important to plant health. Nodulation occurs when nodules, which form on the roots of plants (primarily legumes), form a symbiotic relationship with ...
Tsukuba, Japan - Plants in the bean family (legumes) form nodules on their roots to take up nitrogen. Legumes will stop nodule production when nitrogen is plentiful (Figure 1), but precisely how ...
A gene involved in the development of lateral roots is found to play a role in the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules ...
Texas A&M AgriLife scientists are conducting several research projects to improve producers’ understanding of guar and the legume’s value to their operations in the Rolling Plains and South Plains.
Annals of Botany, New Series, Vol. 21, No. 83 (JULY 1957), pp. 321-337 (17 pages) The influence of root secretions on nodulation of clover and lucerne in agar culture is examined using a technique of ...
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 ...
Plants in the bean family (legumes) form nodules on their roots to take up nitrogen. Legumes will stop nodule production when nitrogen is plentiful, but precisely how nitrate presence controls nodule ...
