Salt stress is an ever-present threat to crop yields, especially in countries with irrigated
agriculture. Efforts to improve salt tolerance in crop plants are vital for sustainable crop …

Salinity is an ever-present major constraint and a major threat to legume crops, particularly
in areas with irrigated agriculture. Legumes demonstrate high sensitivity, especially during …

Salt stress is a rising threat to crop productivity, among several notable consumed crops
tomato is often under threat due to salt stress. In this study, the role of Si in restraining …

Rhizobia form nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plants and convert atmospheric
nitrogen to plant-utilizable ammonia resulting into increased plant growth and crop yield …

Rhizosphere and plant-associated microorganisms have been intensely studied for their
beneficial effects on plant growth and health. These mainly include nitrogen-fixing bacteria …

Soil bacteria1 called rhizobia are gram-negative capable to colonize the soil immediately
surrounding roots under the influence of the plant “rhizosphere” and reduce atmospheric …

Abstract Background Lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) are persistent hazardous metals in
industrially polluted soils which can be toxic in low quantities. Metal toxicity can cause …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a high‐phosphorus demand process. Proteomic analysis was
performed to identify the differentially expressed proteins in soybean nodules under …

Phosphorus is a major nutrient acquired by plants via high-affinity inorganic phosphate (Pi)
transporters. To determine the adaptation and homeostasis strategy to Pi starvation, we …

Germination is a complex process, highly dependent on various environmental factors,
including temperature and water availability. Germinating soybean seeds are especially …
