How are nodules formed in leguminous plants |
| Answer» Leguminous plants have root nodules\xa0which provide shelter to a bacteria called Rhizobium. It is very important bacteria for the\xa0plant\xa0as it converts atmospheric nitrogen into usable form called nitrates so that\xa0plants\xa0will be able to make proteins for their growth.\xa0These\xa0plants\xa0have a symbiotic association with the soil\xa0bacteria\xa0called the Rhizobium, that live in their\xa0roots, forming\xa0root nodules\xa0and fix atmospheric nitrogen into the nitrates and nitrites for the\xa0plants\xa0and in turn, the\xa0plants\xa0provide the nutrition to the\xa0bacteria.\xa0 | |
