A propos de cet article

Hardcover, xix + 402 pages, NOT ex-library. Not an economy edition. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show faint shelfwear and gentle scuff-marks to corners. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This comprehensive volume explores one of the most vital biological partnerships on Earth: the symbiotic relationship between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Drawing on evolutionary biology, molecular genetics, microbial ecology, and plant physiology, the book presents the most detailed and integrative treatment to date of how legumes and rhizobia cooperate to fix atmospheric nitrogen - a process fundamental to sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health. Divided into twelve chapters authored by global experts, the volume opens with Janet Sprent's in-depth analysis of the evolution and diversity of legume nodulation, highlighting how symbiotic capacity has evolved multiple times across different lineages. Later chapters examine the ecology and taxonomy of root-nodule bacteria, the mechanisms for maintaining cooperation and sanctioning non-performing strains, and the biochemical signalling networks - particularly flavonoid pathways - that govern host-microbe interactions. The volume also details the cellular architecture of nodules, genetic regulation through post-genomic analysis, and carbon–nitrogen metabolic integration within nodule tissues. Notably, the book closes with a visionary chapter on the future of legumes, advocating for novel uses of perennial leguminous species in marginal lands and climate-challenged environments. In the age of climate instability, biodiversity loss, and escalating fertiliser dependence, this book remains relevant. It complements cutting-edge research in synthetic biology, such as engineering nitrogen-fixation pathways into cereals, and aligns with the goals of agroecology and carbon farming. The discussion of strain competitiveness, stress responses, and rhizobial ecology directly informs ongoing work in precision agriculture, microbiome engineering, and CRISPR-based gene stacking. This is an essential theoretical and practical foundation for labs designing low-input agricultural systems and plant-microbe symbioses for tomorrow's crops. -- Contents: Evolution and Diversity of Legume Symbiosis; Ecology of Root-Nodule Bacteria of Legumes; Maintaining Cooperation in the Legume-Rhizobia Symbiosis: Identifying Selection Pressures and Mechanisms; Inoculation Technology for Legumes; Fine-tuning of Symbiotic Genes in Rhizobia: Flavonoid Signal Transduction Cascade; Cell Biology of Nodule Infection and Development; Genetics: A Way to Unravel Molecular Mechanisms Controlling the Rhizobial-legume Symbiosis; Legume Genomics Relevant to N2 Fixation; Physiology of Root-nodule Bacteria; Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in Legume Nodules; Oxygen Diffusion, Production of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species, and Antioxidants in Legume Nodules; Prospects for the Future Use of Legumes; Subject Index.…
