UPR是在ER上发生的监控蛋白质折叠、促进ER扩张以维护细胞稳态的一种重要应激反应机制。有趣的是，在根瘤共生关系中UPR机制特异激活。利用CRISPR ...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a leguminous plant that can form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia in the soil. Rhizobia convert nitrogen in ...

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 ...

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 ...
