Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting the use of land for agriculture
because it limits the growth and development of most crop plants. Improving productivity …

Intercropping is a powerful way to promote a more diversified plant community in the field,
thereby enabling complementary and facilitative relationships. In these systems, legumes …

Soil salinity is considered one of the most detrimental environmental problems affecting the
productivity of many agricultural crops, with negative effects on seed germination, plant …

Salinity stress adversely affects root nodulation symbiotic relationships, and ultimately the
nitrogen fixation capacity and the growth and yield of leguminous plants. Improving growth …

Intercropping improves land productivity by exploiting species complementarities to achieve
sustainable agriculture. Intercropping systems, therefore, require a nitrogen (N) …

Soybean, one of the major food and fodder crops, yield is significantly reduced by different
abiotic and biotic stresses, and salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses. The research …

The effects of salt stress on the growth, nodulation, and nitrogen (N) fixation of legumes are
well known, but the relationship between symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) driven by …

Rapid synchronized seed germination is desirable to ensure seedling establishment and
improve crop yield. However, abiotic stresses from drought, salinity, and heavy metals have …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop, and its productivity is severely
affected by salt stress. Although proline is a compatible osmolyte that plays an important role …

Legumes, the second-most-important crop family, are a key source of biological nitrogen in
agriculture and potentially contribute to sustainable cropping systems. Nevertheless, most …
