Plants associate with communities of microbes (bacteria and fungi) that play critical roles in
plant development, nutrient acquisition and oxidative stress tolerance. The major share of …

The endophytic bacteria belong to a larger group of microorganisms that have their life-cycle
partly or entirely inside the plant and are located in intra and inter-cellular spaces or in the …

Background Phytoremediation is a potentially cost-effective way to remediate highly
contaminated mine tailing sites. However, nutrient limitations, especially the deficiency of …

We demonstrate the synthesis of NH3 from N2 and H2O at ambient conditions in a single
reactor by coupling hydrogen generation from catalytic water splitting to a H2-oxidizing …

Sugarcane is the leading economic crop in China, requires huge quantities of nitrogen in the
preliminary plant growth stages. However, the use of an enormous amount of nitrogen …

The study was designed to isolate and characterize Pseudomonas spp. from sugarcane
rhizosphere, and to evaluate their plant-growth-promoting (PGP) traits and nitrogenase …

Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and their complex responses to environmental
changes have received increasing attention. However, large uncertainties in model …

For ecosystems vulnerable to environmental change, understanding the spatiotemporal
stability of functionally crucial symbioses is fundamental to determining the mechanisms by …

Over the past decades, rapid industrialization along with the overutilization of organic
pollutants/pesticides has altered the environmental circumstances. Moreover, various …

The soil microbiome is crucial for regulating biogeochemical processes and can, thus,
strongly influence tree health, especially under stress conditions. However, little is known …
