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

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Elevated quinolizidine alkaloid content in grains of sweet narrow‐leaved lupins when intercropped with oats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Narrow‐leaved lupins (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius L.) is recognized as a climate‐resilient protein crop but its use in food and feed is frequently limited by toxic quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs). The effect of intercropping with spring oat (Avena sativa L.) on grain QA content has not yet been quantified.

Permanent Draft Genome Sequences for Mesorhizobium sp. Strains LCM 4576, LCM 4577, and ORS3428, Salt-Tolerant, Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Isolated from Senegalese Soils [PDF]

, 2017
The genus Mesorhizobium contains many species that are able to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on plants of the legume family. Here, we report the draft genome sequences for three Mesorhizobium strains.

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 ...

Biochemical analysis of induced resistance in chickpea against broomrape (Orobanche foetida) by rhizobia inoculation

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2016
This study examined the capacity of Rhizobium sp. strain PchAZM to reduce parasitism of chickpea by Orobanche foetida under greenhouse conditions, and assessed the relative impact of rhizobia on the expression of chickpea defense response against ...

Symbiotic outcome modified by the diversification from 7 to over 700 nodule specific cysteine rich peptides [PDF]

, 2020
Legume-rhizobium symbiosis represents one of the most successfully co-evolved mutualisms. Within nodules, the bacterial cells undergo distinct metabolic and morphological changes and differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...
