Nitrogen-fixing symbioses between bacteria and plants are major nitrogen contributors to
the terrestrial biosphere. The Rhizobium–legume interaction is the best known and is …

The term of rhizobia, or root nodule bacteria, is the common collective name for diverse
symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria that can induce root and/or stem nodules on the …

With the exception of water, fixed nitrogen is the most common limiting factor for crop
productivity. Nitrogenous fertilisers currently sustain an estimated 40% of the current world …

Nitrogen is the major nutrient limiting plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems, and the
transformation of inert nitrogen to forms that can be assimilated by plants is mediated by soil …

Plant production of high quality as well as the availability of foods rich in protein is crucially
dependent on nitrogen. Tropical agricultural soils often have impaired production due to …

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) associations range in degree of bacterial proximity
to the root and intimacy of association. In general, these can be separated into extracellular …

Several reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are continuously produced in
plants as by-products of aerobic metabolism or in response to stresses. Depending on the …

In an agro‐ecosystem, industrially produced nitrogenous fertilizers are the principal sources
of nitrogen for plant growth; unfortunately these also serve as the leading sources of …
