Legumes can grow in nitrogen-poor soils due to their ability to engage in symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. There is a great interest in using the knowledge about this symbiosis to enable transfer to other non-symbiotic plants. An international research team has come a step closer to understanding this complex biological process.
