Decoding the Significance of Nodulation Genes in Plant Health
Author(s): Knights Bocar*
Plants form a crucial component of Earth's ecosystem, contributing to various ecological and agricultural processes. A remarkable symbiotic
relationship exists between plants and certain soil bacteria, collectively known as rhizobia, which enhances plant health and nutrient availability
through a process called nodulation. This process is facilitated by a complex interplay of nodulation genes, which are responsible for orchestrating
the molecular and physiological events involved in the formation of root nodules. These nodules serve as specialized structures where nitrogen
fixation takes place, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can utilize. This article explores the significance of nodulation genes
in plant health, shedding light on their roles in establishing symbiotic partnerships, nutrient acquisition and overall plant growth. By decoding the
