SUMMARY Most legumes establish a mutualistic association with rhizobia, a group of nitrogen‐fixing bacteria. In Lotus japonicus, the symbiotic colonization occurs intracellularly, via root hair infection threads by Mesorhizobium loti, or intercellularly, with Agrobacterium pusense IRBG74.

Synchronizing N Release from Organic Residues: Opportunities for Integrated Management of N
In intensive cropping systems, mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers represent the largest component of the N cycle because the indigenous N supply is not adequate. The requirement for mineral fertilizer may be reduced with the use of organic nutrient sources.

Micropropagation of Sesbania rostrata from the Cotyledonary Node
Multiple shoots were induced from the cotyledonary nodes derived from seedling of Sesbania rostrata on Nitsch (1969; N) medium supplemented with various concentrations of benzyladenine (BA). 1 mg dm−3 BA proved to be the best, eliciting 5.8 ± 1.0 shoots per explant in 100 % cultures. The elongation of shoots was best at 2.0 mg dm−3 BA.

According to the disturbance gradient, the species richness of herbaceous vegetation increased from fenced (less disturbed) to fallow (most disturbed). The pastoral value and biomass production of grazing land were higher in protected areas (fenced land) than in unprotected areas (community forests and fallow land), suggesting that conservation ...

Long‐Term Effects of Urea and Green Manure on Rice Yields and Nitrogen Balance
Data from a 14‐yr double‐crop rice (Oryza sativa L.) experiment allowed comparison of the long‐term effects of N fertilizer from different sources (urea and in situ grown azolla [Azolla microphylla Kaulf.] and sesbania [Sesbania rostrata Bremek. & Oberm.]) on N balances, soil N pools (both total and available), and yields. Although data show that plant‐

Respiratory membrane endo-hydrogenase activity in the microaerophile Azorhizobium caulinodans is bidirectional. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The microaerophilic bacterium Azorhizobium caulinodans, when fixing N(2) both in pure cultures held at 20 µM dissolved O(2) tension and as endosymbiont of Sesbania rostrata legume nodules, employs a novel, respiratory-membrane endo ...
