Tepary roots have been dug up to examine them for the presence of nodules. Nodules are the light-colored, spherical areas on the roots. They were formed by beneficial soil microbes that "set up ...

It is well known that soil microbes affect plant growth. But the extent of these interactions is not well understood. Using Acmispon strigosus (a native California plant with nodules) and a set of ...

Scientists discover the genetics inside legumes that control the production of an oxygen-carrying molecule, crucial to the plant's close relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The finding offers ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have developed wheat plants that stimulate the production of their own fertilizer, opening the path toward less air and water pollution worldwide and ...

Bacteria inside root nodules need oxygen to survive. A pink or red color inside a nodule indicates the oxygen supply is robust and the bacteria are thriving. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Scientists have found that competition between strains of beneficial bacteria in the soil degrades the service that the bacteria provide to their hosts. Plants form alliances with microbes in the soil ...
