Root Nodules: Root nodules are formed when nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia enter the cells of a host plant. ... However, when legume plants encounter low nitrogen conditions and want to form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia they release flavinoids into the soil.

nitrogen is an essential element required for making proteins and nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. plants cannot use the nitrogen gas directly present in the atmosphere for making proteins. it is because nitrogen is a very un-reactive gas.they meet their nitrogen requirements by organic compounds containing nitrogen which are prepared by rhizobium bacteria from atmospheric nitrogen. rhizobium bacteria lives in the root nodules of leguminous plants. they live in a symbiotic relation in which they benefit each other. the leguminous plants get organic compounds containing nitrogen and rhizobium bacteria gets food and nutrients to survive.
