Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Permanent Draft Genome Sequence of Rhizobium sp. Strain LCM 4573, a Salt-Tolerant, Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium Isolated from Senegalese Soils [PDF]

, 2017
The genus Rhizobium contains many species that are able to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on plants of the legume family. Here, we report the 5.5-Mb draft genome sequence of the salt-tolerant Rhizobium sp.

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.

The ACC-Deaminase Producing Bacterium Variovorax sp. CT7.15 as a Tool for Improving Calicotome villosa Nodulation and Growth in Arid Regions of Tunisia

Microorganisms, 2020
Calicotome villosa is a spontaneous Mediterranean legume that can be a good candidate as pioneer plants to limit regression of vegetation cover and loss of biodiversity in Tunisian arid soils.

Construction and utilisation of a bidirectional reporter vector in the analysis of two nod-boxes in of Rhizobium loti : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Molecular Genetics at Massey University [PDF]

, 1993
The nod-box is a 47bp cis-acting regulatory region which has been conserved amongst every species of Rhizobium studied to date. In species such as R. meliloti and R.

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Determination of abundance and symbiotic effectiveness of native rhizobia nodulating soybean and other legumes in Rwanda

Plant-Environment Interactions
Rhizobia diversity in the rhizosphere is one of the key promoters of biological nitrogen fixation between host legumes and microsymbionts, although related complex interaction may depend on various factors.

Diversity of nifH Gene in Culturable Rhizobia from Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) Grown in Cadmium-Contaminated Soils

Biology
(1) Background: Rhizobia can promote plant growth by providing essential nutrients such as NH4+ and PO43−; thus, rhizobia that can tolerate the stress of heavy metals will be conducive to the phytoremediation of heavy-metal-contaminated soils. Therefore,

Calcium spiking patterns and the role of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase CCaMK in lateral root base nodulation of Sesbania rostrata [PDF]

, 2009
Nodulation factor (NF) signal transduction in the legume-rhizobium symbiosis involves calcium oscillations that are instrumental in eliciting nodulation.
