Endophytic microbes are plant-associated microorganisms that reside in the interior tissue of
plants without causing damage to the host plant. Endophytic microbes can boost the …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is cultivated worldwide for food, bioethanol, and fodder
production. Although nitrogen fixation in sorghum has been studied since the 1970s, N2 …

The impact of long-term inputs of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer and swine manure on soil
alkaline phosphatase activity is important for phosphorus (P) availability, although its …

Revealing the spatial and temporal distribution of bacteria in organic tea plantations is of

As a model for genetic studies, Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) offers great potential to
unravel plant genome-related mechanisms that shape the root microbiome. However, the …

Bradyrhizobium comprises a diverse group of bacteria with various lifestyles. Although best
known for their nodule-based nitrogen-fixation in symbiosis with legumes, a select group of …

The intercropping of peanuts and sugarcane is a sustainable planting model that deserves
