Early reports of the presence of calciumoxalate crystals in the cortices ofPhaseolus vulgaris root nodules have been confirmed. Crystals were found in all six genera examined (Cajanus, Desmodium, Glycine, Lespedeza, Phaseolus, Vigna) that have determinate nodules and export ureides. They were absent from six genera examined that have indeterminate nodules and export amides. The possible physiological significance of these structures is discussed.
早期有报道称，在菜豆属根瘤皮层中存在草酸钙晶体。在所有 6 个研究的属（木豆属、野葛属、大豆属、胡枝子属、菜豆属、豇豆属）中都发现了这些晶体，这些属都有固定的根瘤和输出尿囊素。在 6 个研究的属中没有发现这些晶体，这些属有不定根瘤和输出酰胺。这些结构的可能生理意义正在讨论中。
