Most legumes can form a unique type of lateral organ on their roots: root nodules. These
structures host symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. Several different types of …

Legume root nodules are induced by N-fixing rhizobium bacteria that are hosted in an
intracellular manner. These nodules are formed by reprogramming differentiated root cells. The …

Native to China and Mongolia, the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) now enjoys a worldwide
distribution. While black rats and the house mouse tracked the regional development of human …

Legume rhizobium symbiosis is initiated upon perception of bacterial secreted lipo-chitooligosaccharides
(LCOs). Perception of these signals by the plant initiates a signaling cascade …

ROPs (Rho of Plants) are plant specific small GTPases involved in many membrane
patterning processes and play important roles in the establishment and communication of cell …

Plant morphogenesis requires differential and often asymmetric growth. A key role in
controlling anisotropic expansion of individual cells is played by the cortical microtubule array. …

Plant cell walls are versatile materials that can adopt a wide range of mechanical properties
through controlled deposition of cellulose fibrils. Wall integrity requires a sufficiently …

The highly aligned cortical microtubule array of interphase plant cells is a key regulator of
anisotropic cell expansion. Recent computational and analytical work has shown that the non-…

Plants are the tallest organisms on Earth; a feature sustained by solute-transporting xylem
vessels in the plant vasculature. The xylem vessels are supported by strong cell walls that are …
