Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via
symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia …

Soil microorganisms play crucial role in maintaining the global nutrient cycle. Soil health
status and its nutrient pool rely upon soil microbial community structure and function …

Miscanthus floridulus is a plant with high biomass and heavy metal tolerance, which is a
good candidate for phytoremediation. It is essential to explore how to improve its …

Recent findings on the effect of aluminium (Al) on the functioning of legumes and their
associated microsymbionts are reviewed here. Al represents 7% of solid matter in the Earth's …

Rhizobial diversity and host preferences were assessed in 65 native Fynbos legumes of the
papilionoid legume tribes Astragaleae, Crotalarieae, Genisteae, Indigofereae, Millettieae …

Archaea are widespread in marine sediments, but their occurrence and relationship with
natural salinity gradients in estuarine sediments is not well understood. This study …

Bamboo has been considered a potential plant species for phytoremediation due to its high
biomass and heavy metal (HM) resistance. However, little is known about the interactions …

Bacterial endophytes reside within the tissues of living plant species without causing any
harm or disease to their hosts. These endophytes can be isolated, identified, characterized …

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) is the second most important indigenous
food legume in Africa. The aim of this study was to evaluate plant growth, N 2 fixation, N …
