Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...

HeliyonMicroorganisms 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

An experimental and modelling exploration of the host-sanction hypothesis in legume-rhizobia mutualism [PDF]
, 2008 Despite the importance of mutualism as a key ecological process, its persistence in nature is difficult to explain since the existence of exploitative, 'cheating' partners that could erode the interaction is common. By analogy with the proposed

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that has attracted considerable interest in various fields, including biological and biomedical applications, due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, high degree of crystallinity, and outstanding physicochemical characteristics. It is widely used in several industries such

Acta 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 ...

Role of Rhizobia in Suppressing the Root Diseases of Soybean Under Soil Amendment [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2019 : Rhizobia are soil bacteria, characterized by their unique ability to colonize the roots of leguminous crops, where they form nitrogen fixing nodules. Considerable evidence has been accumulated to identify the benefits associated with use of rhizobia as

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

Trade, Diplomacy, and Warfare: The Quest for Elite Rhizobia Inoculant Strains
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Rhizobia form symbiotic nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plants, which provides an important source of fixed nitrogen input into the soil ecosystem.

Cogent 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.
