  Styphnolobium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Styphnolobium is a small genus of three or four species of small trees and shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, formerly included within a broader interpretation of the genus Sophora.
The species of Styphnolobium differ from Sophora in lacking the ability to form symbioses with rhizobia (nitrogen fixing bacteria) on their roots.

 Cladrastis clade
Styphnolobium, with 9 species of trees inhabiting temperate to seasonally-dry tropical woodlands to montane forests, is distributed from North and Central America (8 species) to west-central China (1 species) (Pennington et al., 2005).
Pickeringia is a monotypic genus of spiny, xerophytic shrub restricted to the sclerophyllous chaparral and mixed evergreen-woodland forest vegetation of California and northern Baja California of Western North America (Raven and Axelrod, 1995).
Consistent with evidence of both Cladrastis (subgenus Cladrastis and subgenus Platycarpus) and Styphnolobium represented in the fossil record from the Middle Eocene (minimum 40 Ma) of Tennessee (Herendeen, 1992), age estimates based on rates analyses of molecular sequences suggest this is one of the oldest clades of papilionoids (Lavin et al., 2005).

 Styphnolobium japonicum: An ancient tree thrives in the city
If a Styphnolobium japonicum grows in your neighborhood, you may have first noticed it during the dog days of summer--a time when fluffy panicles of creamy white flowers stand out against the lustrous green leaves of its broad-spreading crown.
Styphnolobium japonicum (previously Sophora japonica) is known by an assortment of common names: Japanese Pagoda Tree, Chinese Scholar Tree, or sometimes more simply as Pagoda Tree or Scholar Tree.
Styphnolobium japonicum 'Pendula' had first been cultivated in China; the plant-hunger Robert Fortune reported seeing a weeping Pagoda tree in Shanghai during his visit to that city in 1853.

 Nitrogen fixation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Low oxygen tension is achieved by different bacteria by: living in anaerobic conditions, respiring to draw down oxygen levels, or binding the oxygen with a protein (e.g.
The great majority of legumes have this association, but a few genera (e.g., Styphnolobium) do not.
Although by far the majority of nitrogen-fixing plants are in the legume family Fabaceae, there are a few non-leguminous plants that can also fix nitrogen.

Although ENOD2 is conserved among nodulating legumes studied to date, its occurrence and activity have not been studied among non-nodulating legumes, such as Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott (Japanese pagodatree) and Cladrastis kentukea (Dum.-Cours.) Rudd (American yellowwood).
Our objective was to investigate the presence of putative ENOD2 genes in these species, to study organ-specific production of transcripts, and to determine effects of zeatin or an auxin transport inhibitor [2, 3, 5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA)] on temporal expression.
New data on the characteristics of ENOD2 and its gene family in woody legumes will clarify the nature and evolution of nodulation in legumes.
