Summary: Legumes can host nitrogen-fixing rhizobia inside root nodules, with peanut being an atypical legume species exhibiting unique features in nodule development. Phylogenomic studies suggest symbiosis in peanut as a labile trait. The hormonal signaling, particularly Nodule INception modules, play diverse roles in peanut nodule development, involving cytokinin and auxin pathways.

Summary: The symbiosis between leguminous plants and rhizobia in root nodules plays a key role in sustainable agricultural systems. Research has identified a minimal bacterial gene complement necessary for successful symbiosis and nitrogen fixation, paving the way for engineering symbiosis in nonlegume crops. By reorganizing the minimal symbiotic genes into three modules, researchers have provided a platform for expanding symbiosis to other plant partners and identifying genetic components that modulate competitiveness for nodulation and the effectiveness of rhizobia-plant symbioses.

Summary: Legumes form an endosymbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria through signaling pathways and activation of host genes. Mutant alleles of NSP2 gene in this study exhibit different responses to bacterial infection and nodule formation, indicating the crucial role of NSP2 in symbiotic interactions and nodule development.

Summary: Post-embryonic organogenesis in plants enables them to be developmentally responsive to their environment, leading to opportunities for growth and structural remodeling that are unique compared to other higher order organisms. The plasticity in plant development makes plant-microbe interactions a fascinating field to study symbiosis. This review focuses on how beneficial microbes alter root growth, development, and architecture, dissecting the cell biology and molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions in a tissue-specific manner.

Summary: The long noncoding RNA ENOD40 plays a crucial role in cortical cell division during root nodule symbiosis in legumes, with distinct characteristics such as natural antisense transcript and interaction with ASHR3. Its importance in A. hypogaea nodulation was confirmed through RNA interference analysis, indicating its vital role in legume nodule organogenesis.

Summary: In this study, the co-inoculation of Rhizobium pusense S6R2 and Pantoea dispersa YBB19B in groundnut was found to alleviate salt stress and promote plant growth and yield. These strains exhibited multiple plant growth-promoting traits under salt stress conditions. The highest number of nodules was obtained when Rhizobium pusense S6R2 and Bacillus tequilensis NBB13 were co-inoculated in saline soil.

Summary: Nodulation Receptor Kinase (NORK) acts as a co-receptor in legumes' rhizobial symbiosis, but the direct phosphorylation substrates that positively promote root nodulation have not been fully identified. This study found that GmNORK-Interacting Small Protein (GmNISP1) is a phosphorylation target of GmNORK and promotes soybean nodulation. GmNORK alpha interacts and phosphorylates GmNISP1, which is strongly induced after rhizobial infection. GmNISP1 is present in the apoplastic space and its phosphorylation by GmNORK enhances its secretion into the apoplast, potentially functioning as a peptide hormone to promote root nodulation.

Summary: The development of bacteroids in the nodules of peanut and Sophora flavescens was investigated by using a single rhizobial strain, Bradyrhizobium arachidis. Bacteroids in peanut nodules were swollen and had a higher nitrogen fixation efficiency compared to nonswollen bacteroids in Sophora flavescens nodules. Transcriptome analysis revealed similar gene expression patterns in terms of nitrogen fixation and motility, but differences in urease activity and peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between nitrogen availability, rhizobia nodule formation, and leaf physiological traits in Robinia pseudoacacia. The results showed that rhizobia inoculation promoted nodule formation, while nitrogen supply affected biomass accumulation and photosynthesis in the plants.

Summary: In this study, we identified and characterized CaLysM-RLK genes in chickpea and found that CaNFP and CaLYK3 could be candidate genes for NF perception. Down-regulation of these genes significantly reduced nodule numbers in chickpea. This study is of importance for improving root nodule symbiosis in chickpea.

Summary: In this study, members of the LysM-RLK family in the peanut genome were identified and the evolutionary history of the family was reconstructed. These proteins are involved in symbiosis development and defense responses, and may play a role in the receptor network mediating the perception of Nod factors and chitosan.
