A DROUGHT-TOLERANT NITROGEN-FIXING SYMBIONT FOR SUSTAINABLE SOYBEAN PRODUCTION
Peterson, Christian James; 0000-0002-6659-6578 (2023-01-02)Bradyrhizobia are an ideal model organism to study plant-microbe interactions due to dual lifestyles as free-living soil organisms and as endosymbionts for valuable cropping systems in agriculture. Farmers have been utilizing ... -
Characterization Of mocR, A GntR Transcriptional Regulator In Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Taw, May Nyan (Biology, 2012-07-25)The GntR family is one of the most widely distributed and prolific groups of the helix-turn-helix (HTH) transcription factors. In particular, microorganisms that live in complex, fast-changing environments such as soil ... -
Circadian Orchestration of Symbiotic Genes in Photosynthetic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria
Parks, Dylan (2018-05-04)Rhizobia have long been known for their symbiotic association with the roots of legumes where they perform nitrogen fixation in specialized organs called nodules. The photosynthetic strains of Bradyrhizobia are of particular ... -
EFFECTS OF A N2-FIXING BIOFERTILIZER ON THE RHIZOSPHERE MICROBIOME AND THE INFLUENCE OF BIOCHAR ON SOIL FERTILITY AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES
Niraula, Sarbjeet; 0000-0002-8425-4782 (2021-12-20)The rhizosphere microbiota and endosymbionts are the major contributors to biogeochemical cycling and significantly impact the associated host plant. Their association with plant roots is inevitable for plant health and ... -
EFFECTS OF pH SHOCK AND HEAT STRESS ON THE GROWTH OF NITROGEN-FIXING BACTERIA AND THEIR PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZATION
Hemachandra, Ishanka Udayangi; 0000-0002-1381-2783 (2021-05-11)Rhizobia are well known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) into ammonia, so called biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), either as free-living bacteria in soil or as symbiotic partners of legume plants. ... -
ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM AESCHYNOMENE INDICA PLANTS AND THEIR ROLE IN NOD-FACTOR INDEPENDENT NODULE FORMATION AND NITROGEN FIXATION
Rose, Meaghan Alyssa; 0009-0002-4214-155X (2023-05-19)The formation of specialized root organs known as nodules is the most defining characteristic of leguminous plants due to the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen to bioavailable forms enabled by rhizobial endosymbionts. This ... -
Role Of The Extracytoplasmic Function Sigma Factor carQ In Oxidative Response Of Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Thaweethawakorn, Anchana (Biology, 2013-10-23)Bradyrhizobium japonicum is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium that can establish a symbiotic relationship with the soybean plant. To be a successful symbiont, B. japonicum must have an effective mechanism to deal with plant ...
