This project investigates the evolutionary development of the rhizobium-legume symbiosis, focusing on the unique non-legume Parasponia. It aims to uncover the genetic mechanisms behind this mutualistic relationship to potentially transfer nitrogen-fixing capabilities to non-legume crops, enhancing agricultural producti…
Mutualism is wide spread in nature and significantly impacts ecosystems.
However, the principles governing its evolution have proved elusive.
The rhizobium-legume symbiosis is one of the most sophisticated mutualistic interactions, as it results in the formation of a novel organ, the root nodule, where rhizobium is hosted intracellularly as nitrogen fixing ‘organelles’.
These are named symbiosomes and produce ammonia from air.The rhizobium legume symbiosis evolved shortly after the rise of the l…
