Plants generally secrete secondary metabolites in response to stress. These secondary
metabolites are very useful for humankind as they possess a wide range of therapeutic …

Natural products are compounds produced by living organisms and can be divided into two
main categories: primary (PMs) and secondary metabolites (SMs). Plant PMs are crucial for …

Plant root exudates serve pivotal roles in supporting plant development and interactions with
the physicochemical and biological factors in the rhizosphere. Under stress conditions, root …

Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

For all living organisms, nitrogen is an essential element, while being the most limiting in
ecosystems and for crop production. Despite the significant contribution of synthetic …

The current world of climate change, global warming and a constantly changing
environment have made life very stressful for living entities, which has driven the evolution of …

Since 1999, various forward-and reverse-genetic approaches have uncovered nearly 200
genes required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in legumes. These discoveries …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

Legumes are able to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called
rhizobia. The result of this symbiosis is to form nodules on the plant root, within which the …
