Ensuring plant resilience to drought and phosphorus (P) stresses is crucial to support global
food security. The phytobiome, shaped by selective pressures, harbors stress-adapted …

Intercropping is an adapted farming system to optimize resource-use efficiency and crop
yield, particularly in low input agricultural systems. Due to the beneficial eco-agricultural …

Drought alters the diversity, composition, and network stability of microbial communities.
Natural resources benefit from intercropping, particularly cereal-legume intercropping …

Environmental stress conditions influence the growth and survival of rhizobia by affecting the
signalling and infection process, nodule development and function. Stress factors such as …

There are multiple challenges like population growth, food security imperatives, hunger and
malnutrition, climate change, economic access to food, decreasing factor in productivity …

The cultivation of legumes shows promise for the development of sustainable agriculture,
but yield instability remains one of the main obstacles for its adoption. Here, we tested …

The world is facing a consistent increase in human population and a noticeable decrease in
cultivable lands due to soil salinization, abrupt climatic changes, and less rainfall. These …

Rhizobia are a polyphyletic group of soil bacteria, belonging to alpha-and
betaproteobacteria classes, able to colonize the rhizosphere and endosphere of plants and …

Microbial communities are the fundamental engines for balanced ecosystem function,
natural ecological harmony, biotic and abiotic stress mitigation, nutrient recycling …

Cereal/legume intercropping typically increases crop yield; however, the mechanisms
through which soil microbes mediate overyielding in intercropping under different nutrient …
