Nodule. The enlargement or swelling on roots of nitrogen- fixing plants. The nodules contain symbiotic nitrogen- fixing bacteria. See Nitrogen fixation.
Nodules are filled with hemoglobin. So much of it, in fact, that a freshly-cut nodule is red.
nodule A tumorlike growth on the roots of certain higher plants that encloses a population of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. nomenclature The study of the naming of organisms in the fashion that reflects their evolutionary relationships.

A member of the pea family that possesses root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Library. A collection of cells, usually bacteria or yeast, that have been transformed with recombinant vectors carrying DNA inserts from a single species.
A vital symbiosis that bacteria seem to have participated in for hundreds of millions of years is their relationship with plants, both as soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria, as well as internal guests in the root nodules of plants of the pea family.

Development of a root nodule, a place in the roots of certain plants, most notably legumes (the pea family), where bacteria live symbiotically with the plant.
Kinetochore microtubules shorten, severing the recombination nodules and pulling homologous chromosomes apart. Since each chromosome only has one kinetochore, whole chromosomes are pulled toward opposing poles, forming two haploid sets.

Cirrhosis is characterized by formation of fibrous tissue, nodules, and scarring, which interfere with liver cell function and blood circulation.

By Nitrogen-fixing bacteria by anaerobic nitrogenase Live free in soil/nodules on the roots of legumes (peas, beans) NH4+ is assimilated by legumes into amino acids ...
One striking example involves the Rhizobium bacterium, which helps fix nitrogen for legumes (such as pea and clover plants). This bacterium colonizes root hairs in specialized nodules built by the plant.
