Effective nodulation takes place approximately four weeks after crop planting, with the size, and shape of the nodules dependent on the crop. Crops such as soybeans, or peanuts will have larger nodules than forage legumes such as red clover, or alfalfa, since their nitrogen needs are higher.
Investigating nodulation in legumes is essential for understanding plant development, the evolution of symbiosis and the plants response to developmental change. Further study of nodulation and nitrogen fixation may lead to a reduction in the need for nitrogen based fertilisers, which would benefit farmers and the environment.
Feb 17, 2017 · Since the publication of the seminal book Legumes of the World (Lewis et al., 2005), there have been major advances in our knowledge of legume taxonomy and also in the geographical range of legumes studied. These have included many new records of nodulation, detailed studies of nodule structure and a vast increase in the number of genera and species of their symbiotic bacteria, known as ...

Feb 21, 2022 · In this issue of The Plant Cell, Misawa and colleagues (Misawa et al., 2022) uncover a transcriptional cascade involving NLPs and an NRT controlling the interplay between NO 3 − uptake and nodulation in the legume Lotus japonicus. Their findings expand our understanding of how plants control nodulation and may substantiate efforts on the development of sustainable strategies to improve plant ...
Feb 29, 2024 · Legumes have the ability to establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with soil rhizobia that they house in specific organs, the nodules. In most rhizobium-legume interactions, nodulation occurs on ...
May 28, 2018 · The use of molecular and bioinformatic techniques to identify the key genetic markers, quantitative trait loci (QTL), and functional genes associated with acid-tolerant nodulation, coupled with genome editing (e.g., CRISPR) and modern breeding approaches, could rapidly and effectively aid in overcoming this limitation of acid soils on legume nodulation (Bian, Zhou, Sun, & Li, 2013; Scheben ...

Mar 5, 2011 · These genes have homologs in legumes and non-legumes, which makes it reasonable to compare function and structure among homologs in order to evaluate the phylogeny and evolution of nodulation. In fact, there are many reviews that have been published describing origin of nodulation based on gene function/phylogeny [ 7 – 15 ].
