Native soil origin influences the symbiotic N fixation effectiveness of chickpea mesorhizobia grown in Australian soils
Experiments conducted under controlled conditions can be poor predictors of the field performance of rhizobial inoculants. In this study, five field...
-
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation strategies relate to phenotypic plasticity but not invasion risk
Many invasive plant species are symbiotic N-fixers that can have strong impacts on ecosystem processes. Nitrogen-fixing plants use a diversity of...
-
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation does not stimulate soil phosphatase activity under temperate and tropical trees
Symbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing plants can enrich ecosystems with N, which can alter the cycling and demand for other nutrients. Researchers have...
-
Nitrogen but not phosphorus addition affects symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in natural and semi-natural grasslands located on four continents
Background and aimsThe amount of nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic N 2 fixation by legumes in grasslands might be affected by anthropogenic N and...
-
Staying hungry: a roadmap to harnessing central regulators of symbiotic nitrogen fixation under fluctuating nitrogen availability
Legumes have evolved specific inventions to enhance nitrogen (N) acquisition by establishing symbiotic interactions with N-fixing rhizobial bacteria....
-
What determines symbiotic nitrogen fixation efficiency in rhizobium: recent insights into Rhizobium leguminosarum
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) by rhizobium, a Gram-negative soil bacterium, is an essential component in the nitrogen cycle and is a sustainable...

Elevated UV-B radiation depressed biomass yield and symbiotic N2-fixation in Bradyrhizobium inoculated cowpea varieties
The Rhizobium-legume symbiosis plays an important role in improving soil fertility and crop productivity, particularly in inherently poor soils in...
-
Effect of symbiotic N2 fixation on leaf protein contents, protein degradation and nitrogen resorption during leaf senescence in temperate deciduous woody species
Nitrogen (N) resorption from senescing leaves enables plants to reuse N, making them less dependent on current N uptake from the environment, leading...

Identification of QTLs for symbiotic nitrogen fixation and related traits in a soybean recombinant inbred line population
Key messageThe genetic architecture of symbiotic N fixation and related traits was investigated in the field. QTLs were identified for percent N...
-
Nitrogen and light regulate symbiotic nitrogen fixation by a temperate forest tree
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) is a critical mechanism of ecosystem recovery, and in forests of the eastern United States, the most common tree...
-
Effect of drought stress on symbiotic nitrogen fixation, soil nitrogen availability and soil microbial diversity in forage legumes
Background and aimsForage legumes form mutualistic interactions with specialized soil rhizobia bacteria that inhabit root nodules and fix atmospheric...
-
Symbiotic and Asymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation: An Overview
Biological nitrogen fixationBiological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has evolved early during the evolution of life. Bacteria have nitrogenasenitrogenase...

Monocrop** and Intercrop** of Maize with Six Food Legumes at Malkerns in Eswatini: Their Effects on Plant Growth, Grain Yield and N2 Fixation, Measured using the 15N Natural Abundance and Ureide Techniques
Intercrop** of legumes and cereals has many benefits to both plant partners. In this study, the effect of legume-maize intercrop** on plant...

Balancing nitrate acquisition strategies in symbiotic legumes
Main conclusionLegumes manage both symbiotic (indirect) and non-symbiotic (direct) nitrogen acquisition pathways. Understanding and optimising the...

Bacterial consortia among Bradyrhizobium species, Azospirillum baldaniorum and Bacillus pumilus promote plant growth and efficient symbiotic nitrogen fixation in mung bean
The use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in leguminous plants is a widespread approach, and the exploration of symbiotic bacteria that are efficient in...
-
Exploring the role of symbiotic modifier peptidases in the legume − rhizobium symbiosis
Legumes can establish a mutual association with soil-derived nitrogen-fixing bacteria called ‘rhizobia’ forming lateral root organs called root...
-
Separate and Combined Effects of Silicic and Salicylic Acids On Growth and N2-Fixation in Lentil Plants Under Water Stress
Both silicic and salicylic acids have been reported to be effective in mitigating the harmful effects of environmental stresses. The effects of...
-
Symbiotic Effectiveness of Rhizobium Strains in Agriculture
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) by legumes plays major role in sustaining crop productivity of marginal lands and in small-holders systems. Farmers...
