Diversity and structural differences of bacterial microbial communities in rhizocompartments of desert leguminous plants.

PLoS ONE, 2020
By assessing diversity variations of bacterial communities under different rhizocompartment types (i.e., roots, rhizosphere soil, root zone soil, and inter-shrub bulk soil), we explore the structural difference of bacterial communities in different root ...

Leguminous species sequester more carbon than gramineous species in cultivated grasslands of a semi-arid area [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2017
The establishment of grasslands on abandoned cropland has been proposed as an effective method to mitigate climate change. In this study, five cultivated grasslands (three leguminous species and two gramineous species), one abandoned cropland, and one ...

Leguminous plants significantly increase soil nitrogen cycling across global climates and ecosystem types

Global Change Biology, 2023
Leguminous plants are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems and significantly increase soil nitrogen (N) cycling and availability, which affects productivity in most ecosystems.

Leguminous cover crops and soya increased soil fungal diversity and suppressed pathotrophs caused by continuous cereal cropping

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The enrichment of soil-borne fungal pathogens and a high input of mineral fertilizer in the continuous cropping of cereal crops have raised a concern about soil health deterioration.

Rhizobia use a pathogenic-like effector to hijack leguminous nodulation signalling

Scientific Reports, 2021
Legume plants form a root-nodule symbiosis with rhizobia. This symbiosis establishment generally relies on rhizobium-produced Nod factors (NFs) and their perception by leguminous receptors (NFRs) that trigger nodulation.

Effects of Non-Thermal Plasma Treatment on Seed Germination and Early Growth of Leguminous Plants—A Review

Plants, 2021
The legumes (Fabaceae family) are the second most important agricultural crop, both in terms of harvested area and total production. They are an important source of vegetable proteins and oils for human consumption.

A Multipurpose Leguminous Plant for the Mediterranean Countries: Leucaena leucocephala as an Alternative Protein Source: A Review

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary The need to address the shortage of protein ingredients linked to both territoriality and growing demand pushes research to focus attention on alternative protein sources, both vegetable and animal (insects).

Bambara Groundnut: An Underutilized Leguminous Crop for Global Food Security and Nutrition

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020
Rapid population growth, climate change, intensive monoculture farming, and resource depletion are among the challenges that threaten the increasingly vulnerable global agri-food system.

Genome-scale metabolic reconstruction of the symbiosis between a leguminous plant and a nitrogen-fixing bacterium

Nature Communications, 2020
The mutualistic association between leguminous plants and endosymbiotic rhizobial bacteria is a paradigmatic example of a symbiosis driven by metabolic exchanges.

Physicochemical cliaracterization of raw oils from some Sonoran desert leguminous seeds

Grasas y Aceites, 1995
The Sonoran desert has a great variety of nutritional native plants, mainly from the leguminous family. Although in ancient times their products were used as food by native Americans, there is little information about their potential as a food source ...
