The growth and persistence of rhizobia and bradyrhizobia in soils are negatively impacted
by drought conditions. In this study, we used genome-wide transcriptional analyses to obtain …

Trehalose, a disaccharide accumulated by many microorganisms, acts as a protectant
during periods of physiological stress, such as salinity and desiccation. Previous studies …

Background The compatible solute trehalose is involved in the osmostress response of
Rhizobium etli, the microsymbiont of Phaseolus vulgaris. In this work, we reconstructed …

Improving stress tolerance and yield in crops are major goals for agriculture. Here, we show
a new strategy to increase drought tolerance and yield in legumes by overexpressing …

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii forms nitrogen-fixing root nodules on the pasture
legume Trifolium repens, and T. repens seed is often coated with a compatible R …

The rhizobial bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum functions as a nitrogen-fixing symbiont
of the soybean plant (Glycine max). Plants are capable of producing an oxidative burst, a …

A genome-wide transcriptional profile of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the nitrogen-fixing
endosymbiont of the soybean plant, revealed differential expression of approximately 15 …

The growth and persistence of rhizobacteria in soils are highly impacted by moisture stress.
In this study, we report the first transcript analysis of four Pseudomonas strains (PS1, PS2 …

One of the most severe and widespread problems facing the agricultural industry is the
degradation of soil quality due to desiccation and salinity. In fact, almost 40% of the world's …

Bacillus altitudinis FD48 is a multifunctional plant growth-promoting bacterium isolated from
the phylloplane of rice and survives at‐− 10 bars of osmotic potential (‐− 1.0 MPa). It also …
