Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing rhizobium bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi use
lipochitooligosaccharide (LCO) signals to communicate with potential host plants. Upon a compatible …

In this study, the role of the recently identified class of phytohormones, strigolactones, in
shaping root architecture was addressed. Primary root lengths of strigolactone-deficient and -…

Nodules harboring nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are a well-known trait of legumes, but nodules also
occur in other plant lineages, with rhizobia or the actinomycete Frankia as microsymbiont. …

Legume rhizobium symbiosis is initiated upon perception of bacterial secreted lipo-chitooligosaccharides
(LCOs). Perception of these signals by the plant initiates a signaling cascade …

Background Strigolactones are a class of plant hormones whose biosynthesis is activated in
response to phosphate starvation. This involves several enzymes, including the carotenoid …

Universities will play a profound role in a century in which society will be judged by its capacity
for self-transformation in response to pandemic crises of climate change and capitalism. …

Parasponia represents five fast-growing tropical tree species in the Cannabaceae and is
the only plant lineage besides legumes that can establish nitrogen-fixing nodules with …

Rhizobium nitrogen-fixing nodule symbiosis occurs in two taxonomic lineages: legumes (Fabaceae)
and the genus Parasponia (Cannabaceae). Both symbioses are initiated upon the …

Plants possess effective mechanisms to quickly respond to biotic and abiotic stresses. The
rapid activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes occurs early …

●Nitrogen‐fixing nodulation occurs in 10 taxonomic lineages, with either rhizobia or
Frankia bacteria. To establish such an endosymbiosis, two processes are essential: nodule …
