Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient in most agro-ecosystems and thus critical for sustaining
high yields. Conventional agricultural practices use synthetic fertilizers to ensure an …

▪ Abstract Most apomictic root-knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.) have host ranges
that encompass the majority of flowering plants, and M. incognita is possibly the world's most …

The primary objective of this study was to identify the molecular signals present in
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) germinated spore exudates (GSE s) responsible for activating …

Many microorganisms form symbioses with plants that range, on a continuous scale, from
parasitic to mutualistic. Among these, the most widespread mutualistic symbiosis is the …

Plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPB) and NO–3 availability both affect NO–3 uptake and
root architecture. The presence of external NO–3 induces the expression of NO–3 …

As a plant group, forage legumes present some unique advantages and disadvantages for
ruminant production. When compared to grasses or cereals their main advantages are …

Colonization of the rhizosphere by micro‐organisms results in modifications in plant growth
and development. This review examines the mechanisms involved in growth promotion by …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

The penetration of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi through the outermost root tissues of
the host plant is a critical step in root colonization, ultimately leading to the establishment of …

Rhizobium nodulation (Nod) factors are lipo-chitooligosaccharides that act as symbiotic
signals, eliciting several key developmental responses in the roots of legume hosts. Using …
