Legume and Bacteria Symbiosis - Sharon Long (Stanford)

iBioSeminar Part 1
Legume plants form specialized root nodules to host "rhizobia", nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbionts. Rhizobia hosting legumes are able to grow without exogenous nitrogen fertilizer allowing them to be high in protein and to provide nutrition to surrounding plants. In her talk, Long gives an overview rhizobium-legume symbiosis including infection and nodule formation and the chemical signals exchanged between the plant and the bacteria.

This was very clearly explained, thanks a lot for that!

I've witnessed this process...wow, it's alive...! thank you Sharon

[@seagecko]

Well presented and interesting. Took me back to my Microbiology class in college. Tomorrow I'm introducing nod factors to my tenth grade biology class, after which they'll plan experiments to examine the effect of Rhizobia and sow Lupin seeds to decorate and enrich the schoolyard. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much work over so many years into a small video globally shared. Beyond cool!

[@douaasiahoui4637]

Amazing video ! you said it all Dr ! thank you

Excellent presentation

[@hindaomar4539]

Good video

That's such an amazing process. I have a very basic laymans question if each legume species has a specific rhizome is it a good idea not to crop rotate but to leave my peas in the same area too allow that rhizome to multiply ?

[@labspedia1480]

Interesting.

[@hellenfan587]

biological fertilizer will be more and more popular in the future

Thanks mam

I was repotting a mystery plant that my friend gave me a year ago. it had not grown at all over the year so I thought it was dead. when I cleaned the roots from the old soil, I saw 2 huge “rock” looking things attached to the roots. after doing some research, I think my plant must be a legume 🤣 im so interested! I might look into master programs for plants

[@rubi22teresa]

Merci

Protein malnutrition/deficiency, is a nice and pleasant way to say profound starvation and lacking food of any kind. Feed them any edible plant and protein isn't an issue goes away. Legumes seem like a good choice.

[@longbunly]

I wonder , does Rhizobium have the same role as Green and purple sulfur bacteria??

[@stephen_pfrimmer]

A root nodule is quite similar to an intestinal vilus.

is it not this, Indian farmers were doing until western so called tech was forcefully shoved on them. Thank God we are reinventing our ancestors knowledge in all spheres of life.

Sorry, your lecture is useless to me, because I am deaf.

Hi there- there is a transcript available in the description, as well as subtitles that can be turned on. I hope that helps!
