Soil microbial diversity: The hidden wealth of sustainable farming

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to soil health and agricultural sustainability. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance, these communities remain underutilized as biological resources for improving crop production.

Genetic diversity and community structure of rhizobia nodulating Sesbania cannabina in saline-alkaline soils

, 2016
Sesbania cannabina is a plant that grows naturally along the seashores in Rudong County, China (RDC) and it has been introduced into the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a pioneer plant to improve the saline-alkaline soils.

Seeding rate and reseeding potential of ball clover in binary mixtures with annual ryegrass

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Legumes can form symbiotic associations with rhizobia and fix atmospheric nitrogen (N), contributing N to forage systems when grown in mixtures with non‐N‐fixing species. Ball clover (BC; Trifolium nigrescens Viv.) is a cool‐season annual legume with strong reseeding potential due to its production of hard seed.

Transport and metabolism in legume-rhizobia symbioses

, 2016
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobia in legume root nodules injects about 40 million tonnes of nitrogen into agricultural systems each year. In exchange for reduced nitrogen from the bacteria, the plant reciprocates by providing rhizobia with reduced

The Dynamics of Seed‐Derived Molybdenum Following Seed Priming in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) and Impact on Nitrogen Accumulation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Molybdenum (Mo) is required for biological nitrogen fixation because it forms part of the FeMo cofactor of nitrogenase. Seed priming has been shown to increase BNF in other legumes, but its effectiveness has not been tested in faba bean (Vicia faba L.).

A Third Class: Functional Gibberellin Biosynthetic Operon in Beta-Proteobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The ability of plant-associated microbes to produce gibberellin A (GA) phytohormones was first described for the fungal rice pathogen Gibberella fujikuroi in the 1930s.

Mixed Cropping of Narrow‐Leaved Lupin With Oat Improves Grain‐Yield Stability Across Five European Locations

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulse x cereal mixtures are promoted to stabilise yield and reduce fertiliser dependence, yet robust multienvironment evidence for narrow‐leaved lupin (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius) × oat (Avena sativa) mixed cropping remains scarce. We tested whether NLL × oat mixtures maintain productivity while enhancing grain‐yield stability.

Genetic design of soybean hosts and bradyrhizobial endosymbionts reduces N2O emissions from soybean rhizosphere

Nature Communications
Soybeans fix atmospheric N2 through symbiosis with rhizobia. The relationship between rhizobia and soybeans, particularly those with high nitrous oxide (N2O)-reducing (N2OR) activities, can be leveraged to reduce N2O emissions from agricultural soils ...

Morphological and Genetic Diversity of Rhizobia Nodulating Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) from Agricultural Soils of Lower Eastern Kenya

International Journal of Microbiology, 2017
Limited nitrogen (N) content in the soil is a major challenge to sustainable and high crop production in many developing countries. The nitrogen fixing symbiosis of legumes with rhizobia plays an important role in supplying sufficient N for legumes and ...

Exploring the Variability in Growth and Yield‐Related Responses of Soybean Under Rainfed Conditions in Central Europe

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT To diversify cereal‐dominated rotations and increase protein supply for feed and plant‐based diets, soybean cultivation in nontraditional areas of Europe is encouraged. However, regional data and knowledge about nodulation, biomass and yield performance of different cultivars are still scarce.
