BACKGROUND Microbial interactions have shaped plant diversity in terrestrial ecosystems.
By forming mutually beneficial symbioses, microbes helped plants colonize land more than …

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 …

Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on …

Plant economics run on carbon and nutrients instead of money. Leaf strategies
aboveground span an economic spectrum from “live fast and die young” to “slow and …

Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is
induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

BACKGROUND Although plants are dependent on the capture of a number of elemental
nutrients from the soil, the principal nutrients that limit plant productivity are nitrogen (N) and …

In agroecosystems, nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting plant growth. To meet the
increased nitrogen demand in agriculture, synthetic fertilizers have been used extensively in …

Background BRAKER is a suite of automatic pipelines, BRAKER1 and BRAKER2, for the
accurate annotation of protein-coding genes in eukaryotic genomes. Each pipeline trains …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …
