Medicago truncatula is one of the most studied model plants. Nevertheless, the genome of this legume remains incompletely determined. We used RNA-Seq to characterize the transcriptome during the early ...

A symbiotic relationship is a long-term interaction between animal species that is beneficial for one or both animals. There are different forms: Parasitism: One species is harmed, but one benefits.

Laser capture microdissection provides an insight into the symbiotic program of root cells. The most prevalent plant symbiosis is that between root cells and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, called AM ...

Paleozoic marine ecosystems were marked by a diverse array of symbiotic interactions that have left a lasting imprint on the evolutionary history of life. These associations, ranging from mutualistic ...

While promiscuity among humans is often scorned, symbiotic promiscuity can be a sign of excellent teamwork in other species. Plant growth, especially in legumes, flourishes through mutualistic ...

The legume-rhizobium symbiosis is of immense biological and ecological importance. It is a major contributor to the global nitrogen cycle, and serves as a model to study plant–microbe interactions. A ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 59, No. 5, Special Issue: Symbioses and Symbiotic Interactions (2008), pp. 1115-1126 (12 pages) Different symbiotic mycorrhizal associations between plants and ...

All species of termites are social insects, like ants. Entomologists have listed over 2000 species across the world and more than one-third of them live in Africa. This continent harbors 160 from the ...
