Legume plants regulate their symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria by using cytokinins—signaling molecules that are transmitted through the plant structure from leaves into the roots to ...

A new study shows that legume plants regulate their symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria by using cytokinins -- signaling molecules -- that are transmitted through the plant structure from ...

Cytokinin signalling remains a central focus in plant biology due to its vital role in regulating cell division, meristem maintenance and overall plant architecture. Recent investigations have ...

Legumes thrive in low-nitrogen environments by partnering with rhizobia, soil bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a usable form for the plants. These beneficial bacteria are ...

Cytokinin, a key regulator in root nodule symbiosis, maintains this oscillatory gene expression. Genes related to cytokinin biosynthesis, metabolism, and signaling exhibited oscillatory expression ...

A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots ...
