DOI: 10.1093/pcp/pcw190
Abstract: Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes contributes greatly to the global nitrogen cycle on the earth. In nodules, resident rhizobia supply nitrogen nutrient fixed from atmospheric N2 to the host plant; in turn, the plant provides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiaa049
Abstract: Rhizobial infection of legume roots during the development of nitrogen fixing root nodules can occur intracellularly, through plant-derived infection threads traversing cells, or intercellularly, via bacterial entry between epidermal plant cells. Although it is estimated… read more here.

A member of the ALOG gene family has a novel role in regulating nodulation in Lotus japonicus.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of integrative plant biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jipb.12711
Abstract: Legumes can control the number of symbiotic nodules that form on their roots, thus balancing nitrogen assimilation and energy consumption. Two major pathways participate in nodulation: the Nod factor (NF) signaling pathway which involves recognition… read more here.
