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

Soybeans fix nitrogen, everyone knows that, but did you know soil bacteria are key partners in the process? Rhizobia, the soil bacteria in question, form a symbiotic relationship with the soybeans to ...

Soil inoculants for beans and corn can provide positive improvements for the health of your row crops. You can determine which corn and soybean inoculant is best suited to your needs by learning more ...

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 ...

Some plants can meet their nitrogen requirements by obtaining it from the atmosphere. To do this, they use bacteria in their roots, with which they establish a symbiotic relationship. Paul ...

Scientists have elucidated how NodD recognizes flavonoids by resolving, for the first time, the high-resolution crystal structure of the complex formed between the NodD protein of pea rhizobia and 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 ...

An invasion of soybean aphids poses a problem for soybean farmers requiring application of pesticides, but entomologists think a careful choice of nitrogen-fixing bacteria may provide protection ...

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 soybeans ...

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.

Roots of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Hardee) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp. cv Pink Eye Purple Hull) were immersed in suspensions containing 104 Rhizobium cells per milliliter of a ...
