Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
The Leguminosae (legume family) is divided into three sub-families, the Caesalpiniodeae, Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia symbioses was reviewed, and genotypically characterised rhizobia related to the taxonomy of the legumes they were isolated from. Only data from field soils were considered. The objective of the

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 ...

Effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in rhizobia [PDF]

Microbial 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 ...

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.

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

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.

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

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

Agriculture, 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.

Effect of Stand Density on Soil Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial carbon (CUE) and nitrogen (NUE) use efficiency are critical for soil carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) availability. However, how microbial CUE and NUE respond to stand density is unclear. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the response of microbial CUE and NUE to stand density could be mediated by soil depth.

Denitrification by rhizobia: A possible factor contributing to nitrogen losses from soils [PDF]

, 1980
The intensive pastoral farming system on which New Zealand animal production is based is almost completely dependent upon the rhizobium-legurne symbiosis for the fixed nitrogen required for pasture production.

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

Molecular 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 ...
