The Response of Carbon Metabolism and Antioxidant Defenses of Alfalfa Nodules to Drought Stress and to the Subsequent Recovery of Plants

TL;DR: A limitation in metabolic capacity of bacteroids and oxidative damage of cellular components are contributing factors to the inhibition of N2ase activity in alfalfa nodules, and it is concluded that oxidative stress occurs in nodules under drought conditions prior to any detectable effect on SS or leghemoglobin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Medicago truncatula root nodule proteome analysis reveals differential plant and bacteroid responses to drought stress.

TL;DR: The isolation of the nodule plant and bacteroid protein fractions enabled the independent analysis of the response of both counterparts, gaining further understanding of how each symbiotic member is distinctly affected at the protein level under a water-deficit situation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of sucrose synthase in the response of soybean nodules to drought

TL;DR: S sucrose synthase (SS), one of the enzymes involved in sucrose metabolism in legume modules, declined dramatically in activity and in content within a few days of withholding water, suggesting that SS may play a key role in the regulation of nodule carbon metabolism and, therefore, of nitrogen fixation under drought stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen fixation control under drought stress. Localized or systemic

TL;DR: The use of a partially droughted split-root system provides evidence that nitrogen fixation activity under drought stress is mainly controlled at the local level rather than by a systemic nitrogen signal.
