Synthetic microbial communities for engineering climate‐smart biofertilizers

iMeta, EarlyView.
Global agricultural productivity is increasingly destabilized by climate change—driven droughts, floods, extreme heat, and severe storms. Although the climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) framework addresses these challenges, implementation has focused mainly on plant genetics and agronomic inputs, leaving the adaptive potential of the crop microbiome ...

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.

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

Elucidating the Functional and Taxonomic Diversity of Soil Microbial Communities From Three Commercial Soybean Farms in South Africa. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Prior to inoculation of soybeans, South African soils contain no Bradyhizobia that nodulate and fix nitrogen in soybeans. Soybean cultivation with prolonged inoculation resulted in the establishment and dominance of Bradyrhizobia in three soybean farms in South Africa as revealed by a microbial community study using shotgun metagenomics. ABSTRACT Prior

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Influence of Cowpea Plants on Soil Bacterial Community and Soil Quality: Effects of the Rhizosphere. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata), a vital legume for suitable agriculture and food security in sub‐Saharan Africa, plays a crucial role in improving soil health through intricate plant‐microbe interactions in the rhizosphere. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the microbial interactions in the rhizosphere, focusing on soil health ...

Signaling in Legume–Rhizobia Symbiosis

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Legumes represent an important source of food protein for human nutrition and animal feed. Therefore, sustainable production of legume crops is an issue of global importance. It is well-known that legume-rhizobia symbiosis allows an increase in the productivity and resilience of legume crops.

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Co-Inoculation Effect of Rhizobia and Endophytic Bacteria on Vicia faba Growth and Metabolism [PDF]

Journal of Plant Production, 2018
Nodule-forming rhizobia and specific legume host are forming the mutualistic interactions between them which involve a series of signaling molecules leading to the establishment of a strong and functional symbiosis between the two partners.

Response to temperature stress in rhizobia [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2012
It is well established that soil is a challenging environment for bacteria, where conditions may change rapidly and bacteria have to acclimate and adapt in order to survive. Rhizobia are an important group of soil bacteria due to their ability to establish atmospheric nitrogen-fixing symbioses with many legume species. Some of these legumes are used to
