Visualizing Glutamine Accumulation in Root Systems Involved in the Legume–Rhizobia Symbiosis by Placement on Agar Embedded with Companion Biosensor Cells

Microbial symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) occurs inside root nodules, where fixed-N (NH4+) from rhizobia is first assimilated into the amino acid glutamine (Gln). Visualization of Gln dynamics in nodulated root systems of different plant species would require re-engineering transgenic Gln reporter...
