  2. Root nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_nodule

    Root nodule. A simplified diagram of the relation between the plant and the symbiotic bacteria (cyan) in the root nodules. Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. [1] Under nitrogen -limiting conditions, capable plants form a symbiotic relationship with a host ...

  3. Nod factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nod_factor

    Nod factor. The structure of the major Nod factor produced by Sinorhizobium meliloti. Nod factors ( nodulation factors or NF ), are signaling molecules produced by soil bacteria known as rhizobia in response to flavonoid exudation from plants under nitrogen limited conditions. Nod factors initiate the establishment of a symbiotic relationship ...

  4. Rhizobia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizobia

    The partner choice hypothesis proposes that the plant uses prenodulation signals from the rhizobia to decide whether to allow nodulation, and chooses only noncheating rhizobia. There is evidence for sanctions in soybean plants, which reduce rhizobium reproduction (perhaps by limiting oxygen supply) in nodules that fix less nitrogen.

  5. Endophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endophyte

    Endophyte. Transmission electron microscope image of a cross section through a soybean ( Glycine max) root nodule. The nitrogen fixing bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, infects the roots and establishes a symbiosis. This high magnification image shows part of a cell with single bacteroid (bacterium-like cell or modified bacterial cell) within ...

  6. Rhizodermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizodermis

    Rhizodermis is the root epidermis (also referred to as epiblem ), the outermost primary cell layer of the root. Specialized rhisodermal cells, trichoblasts, form long tubular structures (from 5 to 17 micrometers in diameter and from 80 micrometers to 1.5 millimeters in length) almost perpendicular to the main cell axis - root hairs that absorb ...

  7. Nitrogen fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_fixation

    Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include those of the legume family—Fabaceae— with taxa such as kudzu, clover, soybean, alfalfa, lupin, peanut and rooibos. They contain symbiotic rhizobia bacteria within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants.

  8. Actinorhizal plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinorhizal_plant

    Actinorhizal plants are distributed within three clades, [1] and are characterized by nitrogen fixation. [2] They are distributed globally, and are pioneer species in nitrogen-poor environments. Their symbiotic relationships with Frankia evolved independently over time, [3] and the symbiosis occurs in the root nodule infection site.

  9. Root-knot nematode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-knot_nematode

    Root-knot nematodes are plant- parasitic nematodes from the genus Meloidogyne. They exist in soil in areas with hot climates or short winters. About 2000 plants worldwide are susceptible to infection by root-knot nematodes and they cause approximately 5% of global crop loss. [1] Root-knot nematode larvae infect plant roots, causing the ...
