Research Progress Report, No. 17 [PDF]
, 1990 Legumes are notable for their ability to convert atmospheric dinitrogen into forms of nitrogen which are usable by plants. This is done in association with bacteria (called Rhizobium) which inhabit nodules of the plant roots.

Enhanced CO2 Coordinates the Spatial Recruitment of Diazotrophs in Rice Via Root Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO2 (eCO2) will facilitate the identification of nutrient‐efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low‐nitrogen ...

Environmental impacts of grazed clover/grass pastures [PDF]
, 2009 peer-reviwedGrazed clover/grass pastures are important for animal production systems and the clover component is critical for its contribution to N inputs via biological fixation of atmospheric N2.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...

Economic Potential of Substituting Legumes for Synthetic Nitrogen in Warm Season Perennial Grasses used for Stocker Cattle Grazing [PDF]
Stocker cattle grazing warm season perennial grasses is an important economic activity in the southern Great Plains. Substantial increases in the price of nitrogen fertilizer is negatively affecting forage producers’ profitability.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Drought duration affects ant–plant interactions: extrafloral nectar quality initially increases and subsequently declines, and ant interaction patterns closely track these nectar dynamics. Abstract Mutualistic plants use non‐structural sugar (NSC) to produce carbon‐based resources to reward partners.

Optimising the production and utilisation of forage for organic livestock (CTE0202) [PDF]
, 2004 On most organic farms in the UK, forages are fundamental to the application of organic farming practices, particularly where dairy cattle, beef cattle and/or sheep are the major enterprises.

Exploring the genetic diversity of the IPK Medicago germplasm collection using GBS
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Genotyping‐by‐sequencing of 1234 accessions from the Medicago collection of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) revealed broad genetic diversity across 40 species, providing one of the first genus‐wide insights into relationships between both cultivated and wild species of Medicago.
