The carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles play an important role in agro-ecosystems. The
interaction of both elements is a complex process, ie, high soil organic carbon (SOC) and …

Legumes represent an important source of food protein for human nutrition and animal feed.
Therefore, sustainable production of legume crops is an issue of global importance. It is well …

Legumes can utilize atmospheric nitrogen via symbiotic nitrogen fixation, but this process is
inhibited by high soil inorganic nitrogen. So far, how high nitrogen inhibits N2 fixation in …

The winter wheat-summer maize rotation system is common in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain
due to its consistent yield, however, it may cause soil quality degradation and increased risk …

Diversified cropping is a crucial management practice for increasing carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) sequestration in agroecosystems. However, knowledge gaps regarding the …

Understanding carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sequestration in diversified cropping systems
provides a pivotal insight for soil health management. Here, the soil was sampled from an …

Strigolactones are a class of phytohormones that are involved in many different plant
developmental processes, including the rhizobium–legume nodule symbiosis. Although …

Root nodules are major sources of nitrogen for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) growth,
development, production, and seed quality. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is time-limited, as the …

The application of bacterial bio-inputs is a very attractive alternative to the use of mineral
fertilisers. In ploughed soils including a crop rotation pea, we observed an enrichment of …

Legume roots engage in a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia, leading to the development
of nitrogen-fixing nodules. Nodule development is a sophisticated process and is under the …
