Soybean is the most widely grown legume in the world. A beneficial feature of soybean is its
ability to associate with rhizobia bacteria in its root nodules to fix atmospheric nitrogen …

Photosynthesis is the major process leading to primary production in the Biosphere. There is
a total of 7000bn tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and photosynthesis fixes more than 100bn …

In most legume nodules, the di-nitrogen (N2)-fixing rhizobia are present as organelle-like
structures inside their root host cells. Many processes operate and interact within the …

Biofertilizers based on plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are nowadays gaining
increasingly attention as a modern tool for a more sustainable agriculture due to their ability …

There is a global industry built upon the production of “bioinoculants,” which include both
bacteria and fungi. The recent increase in bioinoculant uptake by land users coincides with …

Nitrogen‐fixing symbioses allow legumes to thrive in nitrogen‐poor soils at the cost of
diverting some photoassimilate to their microsymbionts. Effort is being made to bioengineer …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) effects on plant yield are highly variable under
field conditions due to competition with soil microbiota. Previous research determined that …

The root nodule symbiosis (RNS) between legume plants and rhizobia is the most efficient
and productive source of nitrogen fixation, and has critical importance in agriculture and …

Drought is the most detrimental abiotic stress in agriculture, limiting crop growth and yield
and, currently, its risk is increasing due to climate change. Thereby, ensuring food security …

Studies have shown the potential of rhizobia and associated micronutrients to enhance
symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes. Tens of millions of smallholder farmers, however …
