Rhizobia, the soil bacteria in question, form a symbiotic relationship with the soybeans to create nodules and fix nitrogen all season long. But sometimes soil might not have enough rhizobia for ...

This study found that bean inoculation with Rhizobium alone or in combination with P application, can increase grain yield of the two common bean cultivars. This indicates that recommending these ...

Rhizobia colonize these nodules and fix nitrogen by converting nitrogen from air into ammonia. Iron is needed for the enzymes that catalyze nitrogen fixation; however, where and how iron is ...

When rhizobia infect legume roots, root epidermal cells form infection threads, membranous tube-like structures guiding the bacteria to the inner root tissue where they can fix nitrogen. Rhizobial ...

The plant rhizosphere -microbe relationships that have received the most attention include those of Rhizobia bacteria and their symbiotic plant partners, mychorrhizal fungi associations ...
