The Diversity of Phaseolus-Nodulating Rhizobial Populations Is Altered by Liming of Acid Soils Planted with Phaseolus vulgaris L. in Brazil

open access: yes, 2002
PCR-mediated restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the 16S rRNA gene indicated that the rhizobial populations isolated from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodules ...

Co‐inoculation with Bacillus and exopolysaccharide Cp2‐exopolysaccharides promotes salt stress tolerance and productivity in alfalfa

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Co‐inoculation with Bacillus and Cp2‐Exopolysaccharides (EPS) promotes salt stress tolerance and productivity in alfalfa. CK1 (control1): distilled water, DN2: Bacillus strain DN2, EPS: Exopolysaccharide, CK2 (control2): 100 mmol·L‐1 NaCl, S: Salt. Abstract Background Alfalfa is one of the most important forage crops in the world, and its performance ...

Rhizobia-legume symbiosis mediates direct and indirect interactions between plants, herbivores and their parasitoids

open access: yesHeliyon
Microorganisms associated with plant roots significantly impact the quality and quantity of plant defences. However, the bottom-up effects of soil microbes on the aboveground multitrophic interactions remain largely under studied. To address this gap, we

Rhizobia: A Promising Source of Plant Growth-Promoting Molecules and Their Non-Legume Interactions: Examining Applications and Mechanisms

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
For over a century, the scientific community has had a comprehensive understanding of how rhizobia can promote the growth of legumes by forming nitrogen fixing nodules.

Effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in rhizobia [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2019
Summary Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated researchers for over a century, and the positive effects of legumes on soils and their food and feed value have been recognized ...

Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Inoculation treatments affect the migration and colonisation of rhizobia in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to characterise the migration and the colonisation dynamics of two different fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in various alfalfa tissues (especially in seeds); and also to develop efficient inoculation treatments to ...

Symbiotic Burkholderia Species Show Diverse Arrangements of nif/fix and nod Genes and Lack Typical High-Affinity Cytochrome cbb3 Oxidase Genes

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2016
Genome analysis of fourteen mimosoid and four papilionoid beta-rhizobia together with fourteen reference alpha-rhizobia for both nodulation (nod) and nitrogen-fixing (nif/fix) genes has shown phylogenetic congruence between 16S rRNA/MLSA (combined 16S ...

Morphological, genetic diversity and symbiotic functioning of rhizobia isolates nodulating cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) in soils of Western Kenya and their tolerance to abiotic stress

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture, 2020
Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for growth of most crop plants in sub-Saharan Africa and legume crops largely depend on fixed nitrogen from indigenous nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

How legumes recognize rhizobia [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2015
Legume plants have developed the capacity to establish symbiotic interactions with soil bacteria (known as rhizobia) that can convert N2 to molecular forms that are incorporated into the plant metabolism. The first step of this relationship is the recognition of bacteria by the plant, which allows to distinguish potentially harmful species from ...
