  • After penetration, intracellular hyphae form fine-branched structures in cortical cells termed arbuscules, representing the major site where bidirectional nutrient exchange takes place between the host plant and fungus. (uni-koeln.de)
  • The architecture of the root system is integral for plant productivity as the spatial deployment of roots will substantially determine the ability of the plant to exploit nutrient sources. (edu.au)
  • Plants have evolved various strategies to adapt nutrient limited condition. (parasiticplants.org)
  • This peat inoculant performs well in harsh planting conditions and helps strengthen water and nutrient uptake for maximum yields. (vlsci.com)
  • Granular inoculants can lead to the development of larger root masses, which can improve water and nutrient uptake by the plants. (vlsci.com)
  • The Azospirillum helps your plant build a bigger, stronger root system for better nutrient and water uptake. (vlsci.com)
  • Increased herbage yield in alfalfa associated with selection for fibrous and lateral roots. (usda.gov)
  • The nonendophytic bacterial strains were not detected within the nodule tissue. (who.int)
  • The fixed nitrogen is then carried to other parts of the plant and is used to form plant tissues, so the plant can grow. (profoundtips.com)
  • that form nitrogen fixing nodules on the roots of various legume host plants. (ucalgary.ca)
  • Nitrogen-fixing plants are plants that have a unique ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by plants. (firepitmag.com)
  • One fascinating example of symbiotic mutualism in animals is pollination, where animals and plants form a mutually beneficial partnership. (animalbehaviorcorner.com)
  • Decorative plants decorative plants that fit any style and budget and also beautify your home with the display of aesthetic features including: flowers, leaves, scent, overall foliage texture, fruit, stem and bark, and aesthetic form. (powershow.com)
  • According to Tegederm the soybean plants become bigger, grow faster, and generally look better than conventional soybean plants. (isaaa.org)
  • Soybean plants deficient in boron often show reduced seed formation and small seeds of poor quality. (kpluss.com)
  • Manganese improves the disease resistance of soybean plants. (kpluss.com)
  • Peas have a relatively shallow root system. (saskpulse.com)
  • Planting peas on cold, poorly drained soils should be avoided, as it favours the development of seedling diseases and root rots. (saskpulse.com)
  • Granular inoculant for peas , lentils & chickpeas can improve the early growth stages of plants by providing them with the necessary nitrogen for healthy growth. (vlsci.com)
  • Within legume root nodules, nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3), which is then assimilated into amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA and RNA as well as the important energy molecule ATP), and other cellular constituents such as vitamins, flavones, and hormones[citation needed]. (wikipedia.org)
  • The energy for splitting the nitrogen gas in the nodule comes from sugar that is translocated from the leaf (a product of photosynthesis). (wikipedia.org)
  • As related plants are actinorhizal, it is believed that the plant "switched partner" in its evolution. (wikipedia.org)
  • Advantages include the ability to precisely control the growth medium in which the plants grow and easy observations of roots during growth. (nsf.gov)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase in alfalfa nodules: localization of mRNA during effective and ineffective nodule development and promoter analysis. (usda.gov)
  • defense-response gene mRNA and isoflavonoid phytoalexin levels in roots. (usda.gov)
  • The tendrils on the semi-leafless types help the plant intertwine with neighbouring plants which increases standability and improves harvestability. (saskpulse.com)
  • Incorporating nitrogen fixing plants into your garden or farm not only improves fertility but also enhances biodiversity and reduces carbon emissions. (firepitmag.com)
