Nickel application influences nitrogen concentration, yield, and grain quality of soybean

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Nickel (Ni) is an essential element in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This study evaluated the effects of foliar fertilization with Ni on the grain yield (GY), yield components, N content, grain protein, and oil content of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr].

Liebig Review: Legume–Rhizobium Symbiosis Under Selenium Fertilization: A Unique Dual Function in the Plant–Soil System

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 6, Page 861-872, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Selenium (Se) plays a vital role as a beneficial element in promoting the production of leguminous plants. It influences legume quality by improving crop nutritive value and contributing to human and animal health. Literature Review This review is timely, as there are gaps in understanding Se–rhizobia interactions in legumes, which ...

Inhibition of rhizobial cheaters by the host Medicago truncatula involves repression of symbiotic functions and induction of defense

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1458-1474, November 2025.
Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

Control of Allantoin Accumulation in Comfrey

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2008
Comfrey, a medicinal herb with healing properties that are attributed to allantoin, was studied in this work. The accumulation and metabolism of allantoin (ALN) and its degradation product, allantoic acid (ALA), were examined.

Breeding for plant‐based proteins in pulse and legume crops: Perspectives, challenges and opportunities

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Metabolism of Purine Alkaloids and Xanthine in Leaves of Maté ()

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2015
Accumulation and metabolism of purine alkaloids in leaves of maté ( Ilex paraguariensis ) were investigated. In winter, leaves accumulated caffeine but not theobromine, indicating that caffeine is the end product of purine alkaloid synthesis in maté.

Effective Rhizobia Relieve Negative Effects of Drought Stress During the Vegetative Stage in Soybean Under Field Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 211, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) forms a symbiotic relationship with compatible soil rhizobia, enabling biological nitrogen fixation. Among numerous factors, moisture deficit is a major challenge to soybean production due to its direct impact on the ability to fix nitrogen.
