Root Nodule Formation In Legumes — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Root Nodule Formation in Legumes Labelled parts: Root Nodule, Legume Root, Root Hair, Rhizobium, Root Hair Curling, Infection Thread, Cortex, Mature Nodule, Bacteroids, Leghemoglobin, Nitrogenase, Nitrogen Fixation. A specialized, swollen structure formed on the roots of leguminous plants, housing nitrogen-fixing bacteria. FYI: Nitrogen fixation occurs within the nodules, converting atmospheric N a ‚‚ into usable ammonia (NH a ‚ƒ) using the enzyme nitrogenase.

Curling of a legume root hair around Rhizobium during the early infection stage of nodule formation. A tube-like inward growth that guides Rhizobium bacteria from root hairs into root cortical tissue. The tissue layer in plant stems and roots located between the epidermis and the vascular cylinder, primarily used for storage. FYI: In many plants, the innermost layer of the cortex is the endodermis, which contains the Casparian strip. A key label in the BioAtlas entry 'Root Nodule Formation in Legumes'.
