Rewiring systemic nodulation control to engineer heat-tolerant nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula and chickpea
Root nodule symbiosis allows legumes to meet their nitrogen requirements. However, the causes of symbiosis failure at high temperatures remain unknown. We demonstrated that elevated temperatures affec...
