Assay of substances stimulatory to legume nodule formation.
Two methods were developed for the assay of substances stimulatory to the nodulation of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) roots growing from segments of hypocotyl tissue. Coconut water was the chief source of active material, but extracts of cotyledons, hypocotyls and leaves of beans and of horse chestnut fruits were also stimulatory. High concentrations of nitrate improved nodulation both in the prese...
متن کاملThe antioxidants of legume nodule mitochondria.
The mitochondria of legume root nodules are critical to sustain the energy-intensive process of nitrogen fixation. They also generate reactive oxygen species at high rates and thus require the protection of antioxidant enzymes and metabolites. We show here that highly purified mitochondria from bean nodules (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Contender x Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli strain 3622)...
متن کاملThe Legume Root Nodule: From Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation to Senescence
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the biological process by which the atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia by an enzyme called nitrogenase. It is the major source of the biosphere nitrogen and as such has an important ecological and agronomical role, accounting for 65 % of the nitrogen used in agriculture worldwide. The most important source of fixed nitrogen is the symbiotic a...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of legume nodule development and autoregulation.
Legumes are highly important food, feed and biofuel crops. With few exceptions, they can enter into an intricate symbiotic relationship with specific soil bacteria called rhizobia. This interaction results in the formation of a new root organ called the nodule in which the rhizobia convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into forms of nitrogen that are useable by the plant. The plant tightly controls ...
متن کاملRegulators and regulation of legume root nodule development.
Nitrogen is the nutrient plants require in the highest amount, and in agriculture nitrogen availability has a major influence on both yield and product quality. In nature plants acquire nitrogen by assimilation of nitrate and ammonium or from dinitrogen through association with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation, where the plant supplies the carbon source for the energy-depen...
