Researchers explain an evolutionary step in the symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. What would it be like to produce fertilizer in your own basement? Leguminous plants, like peas, ...
Symbiotic and pathogenic fungi that interact with plants are distantly related and don't share many genetic similarities. Comparing plant pathogenic fungi and plant symbiotic fungi, scientists at the ...
A study on medicinal plants published in Cell highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and plant species, particularly in the context of medicine. This relationship, which spans millennia, ...
Legumes like soybeans, alfalfa, peas, beans, peanuts and many more have a remarkable ability: They can partner with soil ...
The growth of most plants depends on the presence of sufficient amounts of nitrogen contained in the soil. However, a family of plants, the legumes, is partially free of this constraint thanks to its ...
STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State faculty member’s work on symbiosis—a mutually beneficial relationship between living organisms—is pushing back against the newer theory of a “single-origin” of ...

How plants could fix their own nitrogen
Scientists are uncovering the genetic switches that let legumes team up with bacteria to pull nitrogen from the air. By ...
Scientists make a breakthrough after years spent attempting to crack the genetic mechanisms behind the symbiotic relationship with plants and mycorrhizal fungi. A multi-institute team, led by Oak ...
