The symbiotic partnership between bacteria and leg‐umes is vital for the supply of biologically fixed nitro‐gen to soil and plants in organic cropping systems. Perennial clovers in a dense grass clover ley may contribute more than 200 kg nitrogen (N) per ha and year to the cropping system from the s...

The location of the nodules along the roots is primarily linked to genus/species of the plants and the presence of rhizobia in the soil. At low frequency of rhizobia, the low number of nod‐ules per plant is compensated by increased nodule size. In ad‐dition, the content of nutrients in the soil, lo...
The following method describes a simple procedure to be‐come familiar with legume‐rhizobia symbiosis and to get a first feedback on the activity of the symbionts in the field.
Appearance of the plant: Does it look lush with dark green coloured leaves, or does it rather look meagre with fewer and pale green leaves? Development of the roots: How well did the root system develop? Are the roots long and frequently branched? Number, size and distribution of root nodules: Can...

The nodule functioning has many peculiarities, involving a plant-microbe crosstalk associated to a metabolism which needs a high energy level under micro-oxic conditions. Nodule development and senescence also have specific features.
Sep 21, 2010 · We highlight the use of nodulation tests and molecular methods to reveal population size and genetic diversity of Frankia in soil and discuss how autoregulation of nodulation and interactions with other soil microorganisms may influence the results.

What does ouration of the interior of nodules mean?
The symbiotic root nodule, an organ formed on leguminous plants, is a product of successful interactions between the host plant and the soil bacteria, Rhizobium spp. Plant hormones play an important role in the genesis of this organ.
