Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Signaling in Legume–Rhizobia Symbiosis

open access: yesInternational 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.

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

The Legume–Rhizobia Symbiosis

open access: yes, 2015
The symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) with legumes is the primary source of biologically fixed nitrogen for agricultural system. It is performed by a group of bacteria commonly called rhizobia.

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Compatible rhizobia and nitrogen requirements for early growth of Acacia mangium on Melville Island, Northern Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Acacia mangium is widely planted in tropical parts of SE Asian for reforestation, timber and pulpwood. Plantation has recently been established on Melville Island and early growth and tree form are below commercial expectations. Although A.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Herbaria as repositories of past soil properties and historical soil DNA

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil health is fundamental to agriculture, food security, and the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems under ongoing climate and land‐use changes. Soil microorganisms play a key role in these processes, yet how soils and their microbial communities have changed over time in response to global environmental change remains poorly understood ...

Host-imposed control mechanisms in legume–rhizobia symbiosis [PDF]

open access: yes
Legumes are ecologically and economically important plants that contribute to nutrient cycling and agricultural sustainability, features tied to their intimate symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia.

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.
