Nodules on the roots of peas and beans help the plant to secure its own nitrogen, reducing the need for artificial fertiliser. Professor Giles Oldroyd's group is researching how this could be ...

Root nodules are organs on plant roots that facilitate the symbiotic relationship. Rhizobia colonize these nodules and fix nitrogen by converting nitrogen from air into ammonia. Iron is needed for ...

Galls are also generally much larger than nodules. Severely affected root systems are often swollen, knotty, and irregular in shape (Figure 1). Plants affected by RKN may become chlorotic and/or ...
