Unlocking nitrogen regulation: structural insights into the NifL‐NifA complex and prospects for engineered diazotrophs

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Klebsiella sp. strain B7 enhances alkaline tolerance by secreting pyruvic acid to accelerate L‐malic acid accumulation in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Klebsiella sp. strain B7 acts as a positive regulator in alkaline stress responses in soybean. By activating pyruvic acid metabolism and L‐malic acid biosynthesis pathways, B7 significantly increases alkaline tolerance and yield in soybean. ABSTRACT Alkaline stress is a major constraint on crop growth and development and negatively impacts soybean ...

Reprogramming of Gene Transcripts and Metabolites by the Wild Soybean Endophyte Pseudomonas sp. 77S3 Improves Soybean Salt Tolerance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil salinity severely limits soybean growth by disrupting physiological and metabolic homeostasis.

Plant Root Enhancement by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

, 2021
Soil microorganisms perform a variety of functions, some of which are extremely helpful to the maintenance of ecological sustainability. Bacteria thriving in the plant rhizosphere drive plant development through a variety of ways, which are referred to as PGPRs (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria). Despite the fact that there are many different types

Distinct Defence Mechanisms of Allelopathic Rice Against Quinclorac‐Susceptible and ‐Resistant Barnyardgrass: Involvement of Specific Metabolites and Rhizosheath Microbiota

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

Rhizobacteria Exopolysaccharide: A Boon in Reclaiming Soil Fertility, Augmenting Plant Growth and Plant Stress Resilience

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) enhance plant stress tolerance and soil health by improving water retention, nutrient cycling, and resilience to salinity and heavy metals, offering a biodegradable and eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic polymers for sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) serve multiple industrial and

Spatial Patterns and Overlap of Sedimentary and Rhizosphere Microbiomes of the Seagrass Zostera capensis

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sedimentary microbiomes and, for the first time, rhizosphere microbiomes of Zostera capensis, South Africa's most abundant seagrass, were characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding across three estuaries. After accounting for seawater‐derived microbes, we found that sediment and rhizosphere communities largely overlapped but also harbor distinct core ...

Differential Analysis of IAA Anabolism Pathway Based on Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus safensis Genome

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Three Bacillus species isolated from Platycladus orientalis rhizosphere in Taihang Mountains: Bacillus cereus has 3 IAA synthesis pathways (TAM, IAM, IPyA); Bacillus subtilis has IAM/IPyA; and Bacillus safensis only has IPyA (via whole‐genome sequencing).

Selection of suitable additives for seed pelletizing to enhance germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia in restoration of semi‐arid degraded rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.
