Plant-Microbe Symbiosis

Here we develop a mathematical model based on these components to describe the observed symbiotic Ca2+ oscillations. This model can recapitulate Ca2+ oscillations, and with the inclusion of Ca2+-binding proteins it ...

Nodulation in legumes requires recognition of rhizobially made Nod factors. Genetic studies have revealed that perception of Nod factors involves LysM domain receptor-like kinases, while biochemical approaches have ...

This research will initiate the first steps towards the transfer of this biological nitrogen fixation to cereal crops, through engineering a signalling pathway that enables the plant to perceive nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Gates money for GM 'likely to result in lower yields'Farming UKHowever nitrogen fixation has not evolved naturally in grasses from which cereal crops (eg, wheat, maize) were originally bred, so it is often claimed that attempting to produce GM...

Progress in molecular identification of legume genes involved in root nodule symbiosis have been mostly achieved by using two model legumes, Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula, that have relatively simple and small ...
