While establishing symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria certain legumes produce nodule-specific cysteine rich peptides. These peptides turn the bacteria into terminally differentiated non-replicative bacteroids. Here, we discuss the properties, essentiality, emerging clinical and agricultural applications, and the need to study the detailed mechanism of action of these peptides.

Trends in Microbiology

TRENDS IN MICROBIOLOGY 为讨论微生物学的各个方面提供了一个多学科论坛：从细胞生物学和免疫学到遗传学和进化，涵盖病毒学、细菌学、原生动物学和真菌学。微生物学是目前发展最快的学科之一。生命科学，也得益于近年来的技术发展。对小基因组进行完整测序的相对容易和快速开始对原核生物的所有领域产生重大影响，从病原体到极端微生物，并将推动药物、疫苗和工业酶研究等领域的新发展。最近的国际发展也引起了人们对微生物学的重新兴趣。目录包括评论、通信和评论的生动组合。大多数文章都是委托撰写的，所有文章都经过同行评审。因此，它们为教学和了解该领域的发展奠定了权威基础。重点是分子微生物学和病毒学，包括基因组学、植物和动物宿主-病原体相互作用的范围、宿主免疫反应、表征等主题毒力决定因素的进化、细胞周期和分化、动植物共生关系、环境微生物学、生物多样性和进化、种群动态、性别和诱变、抗生素耐药性和生产、药物和疫苗靶点，以及朊病毒疾病和真菌和原生动物生物学。

Trends in Microbiology is a multidisciplinary forum that discusses various aspects of microbiology, ranging from cell biology and immunology to genetics and evolution, covering virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. Microbiology is one of the fastest-growing disciplines today, and the life sciences have also benefited from recent technological advancements. The relative ease and speed of complete sequencing of small genomes have had a significant impact across all fields of prokaryotes, from pathogens to extremophiles, and are driving new developments in areas such as drug, vaccine, and industrial enzyme research. Recent international developments have also rekindled interest in microbiology. The journal features a vibrant mix of reviews, communications, and commentaries. Most articles are commissioned and undergo peer review, providing an authoritative foundation for teaching and understanding developments in the field. The focus is on molecular microbiology and virology, including topics such as genomics, host-pathogen interactions in plants and animals, host immune responses, the evolution of virulence determinants, cell cycle and differentiation, plant and animal symbiosis, environmental microbiology, biodiversity and evolution, population dynamics, sex and mutation, antibiotic resistance and production, drug and vaccine targets, as well as prion diseases and the biology of fungi and protozoa.
