Plant genes involved in root-nodule development on legumes
Rhizobium is able to induce the formation of a new organ on roots of leguminous plants, the root nodule, in which the penetrated bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen. This process is initiated by specific lipo-oligosaccharides, called Nod factors, secreted by the bacterium.

Microbiome properties in the root nodules of Prosopis cineraria, a leguminous desert tree
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the total microbiome and transcriptionally active microbiome communities in the roots and root nodules of Prosopis cineraria, an important leguminous tree in arid regions of many Asian countries.

The potential relationship between the number of root nodules and pod yield in cowpea cultivars subjected to water deficit under greenhouse conditions [PDF]
The relationship between root nodules and pod yield, especially under water stress, requires understanding to guide farmers' choices and optimise yields in water-stressed environments.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Localized Expression of Cathepsin B-like Sequences from Root Nodules of Pea (Pisum sativum)
Cathepsin B is an ancient family of eukaryotic cysteine proteases. We describe PsCat1, a plant cathepsin B-like transcript, identified as an expressed sequence in Rhizobium-induced, nitrogen-fixing root nodules of pea.

An experimental and modelling exploration of the host-sanction hypothesis in legume-rhizobia mutualism [PDF]
Despite the importance of mutualism as a key ecological process, its persistence in nature is difficult to explain since the existence of exploitative, 'cheating' partners that could erode the interaction is common. By analogy with the proposed

Draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain DC12, an atypical, noninfective, ineffective isolate from Datisca cannabina [PDF]
Frankia sp. strain DC12, isolated from root nodules of Datisca cannabina, is a member of the fourth lineage of Frankia, which is unable to reinfect actinorhizal plants.

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.
