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.

\u3cem\u3eRhizobium phaseoli\u3c/em\u3e Symbiotic Mutants with Transposon Tn5 Insertions [PDF]

, 1984
Rhizobium phaseoli CFN42 DNA was mutated by random insertion of Tn5 from suicide plasmid pJB4JI to obtain independently arising strains that were defective in symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris but grew normally outside the plant.

Explaining coexistence of nitrogen fixing and non-fixing rhizobia in legume-rhizobia mutualism using mathematical modeling [PDF]

, 2017
In the mutualism established between legumes and soil bacteria known as rhizobia, bacteria from soil infect plants roots and reproduce inside root nodules where they fix atmospheric N2 for plant nutrition, receiving carbohydrates in exchange.

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.

Requirement of a Plasmid-Encoded Catalase for Survival of \u3cem\u3eRhizobium etli\u3c/em\u3e CFN42 in a Polyphenol-Rich Environment [PDF]

, 2008
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria collectively called rhizobia are adapted to live in polyphenol-rich environments. The mechanisms that allow these bacteria to overcome toxic concentrations of plant polyphenols have not been clearly elucidated.

Expression of Rhizobium meliloti nod genes in Rhizobium and Agrobacterium backgrounds [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1987
Rhizobium meliloti nod genes are required for the infection of alfalfa. Induction of the nodC gene depends on a chemical signal from alfalfa and on nodD gene expression. By using a nodC-lacZ fusion, we have shown that the induction of the R. meliloti nodC gene and the expression of nodD occur at almost normal levels in other Rhizobium backgrounds and ...

The influence of a cluster‐rooted species on Bossiaea linophylla (Fabaceae) under extremely phosphorus‐impoverished conditions: Phosphorus competition and altered plant–microbe interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) limitation may intensify plant competition. However, in severely P‐impoverished soils of south‐western Australia, cluster‐rooted Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) can facilitate P acquisition of neighbouring species by mobilising tightly bound P from soil ...

The Rhizobium-plant symbiosis

Microbiological Reviews, 1995
Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium species are able to elicit the formation of unique structures, called nodules, on the roots or stems of the leguminous host. In these nodules, the rhizobia convert atmospheric N2 into ammonia for the plant. To establish this symbiosis, signals are produced early in the interaction between plant and rhizobia ...

OsFKBP20‐1b stabilizes OsUPF1 and OsUPF2 to promote the degradation of aberrant mRNAs during dehydration stress

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice protein OsFKBP20‐1b protects key RNA‐surveillance factors from breakdown, so they can better eliminate defective messages. This RNA quality‐control boost reduces errors and helps plants survive drought, revealing a link between RNA control and drought tolerance.

Conserved Nodulation Genes in Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium trifolii [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985
Plasmids which contained wild-type or mutated Rhizobium meliloti nodulation ( nod ) genes were introduced into Nod − R. trifolii mutants ANU453 and ANU851 and tested for their ability to nodulate clover. Cloned wild-type and mutated R.
