This review article explores the impact of nitrogen fertilizers on the symbiotic relationship
between Rhizobium bacteria and legume plants. Nitrogen fixation has the potential to …

The present review highlights both the fundamental questions of calcium localization,
compartmentation, and its participation in symbiosome signaling cascades during nodule …

Bradyrhizobia are common members of soil microbiomes and known as N2‐fixing symbionts
of economically important legumes. Many are also denitrifiers, which can act as sinks or …

Agriculture is a major anthropogenic source of the greenhouse gas N2O, which is also
involved in stratospheric ozone depletion. While the use of rhizobial inoculants has already …

Agriculture is an important source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) due to the
over-or non-synchronised application of nitrogen to crops. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) …

Purpose Alfalfa is one of the most valuable forage crops in temperate climate zones. Ensifer
meliloti, the endosymbiont of alfalfa, contains all the denitrification genes but the capacity of …

Rhizobia living as microsymbionts inside nodules have stable access to carbon substrates,
but also must survive as free-living bacteria in soil where they are starved for carbon and …

Sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) is an important legume cover crop used in tree cropping
systems, where there is increased interest by growers to identify rhizobia to maximize soil …

Bradyrhizobia are the principal symbiotic partner of the leguminous plant and take active
part in biological nitrogen-fixation. The present investigation explores the underlying …

Modern agriculture intensely selects aboveground plant structures, while often neglecting
belowground features, and evolutionary tradeoffs between these traits are predicted to …
