Physiological and Biochemical Responses to Salt Stress of Alfalfa Populations Selected for Salinity Tolerance and Grown in Symbiosis with Salt-Tolerant Rhizobium

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Alfalfa and its rhizobial symbiont are sensitive to salinity. We compared the physiological responses of alfalfa populations inoculated with a salt-tolerant rhizobium strain, exposed to five NaCl concentrations (0, 20, 40, 80, or 160 mM NaCl).

Drought Stress Modifies the Source-Sink Dynamics of Nitrogen-Fixing Soybean Plants Prioritizing Roots and Nodules. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiol Plant
ABSTRACT Soybean plants are one of the most cultivated legume crops worldwide. Their ability to establish nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis with rhizobium bacteria allows the reduction of molecular nitrogen to ammonium, contributing to a reduction in the dependence on nitrogen fertilizers.
