Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is highly sensitive to drought, which results in decreased N
accumulation and yield of legume crops. The effects of drought stress on N2 fixation usually …

Symbiotic nitrogen (N2) fixation in legumes may give the host plant a distinct competitive
advantage; at the same time it is mainly responsible for introducing N into terrestrial …

Legumes are important components of the nitrogen cycle on land. Agricultural systems have
traditionally relied much on legumes for nitrogen input because many species are able to …

Enhanced amylase activity was observed during a 7-day-growth period in the cotyledons of
PEG imposed water stressed chickpea seedlings grown in the presence of GA 3 and kinetin …

The symbiosis legume–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi–nitrogen fixing bacteria is of relevant
interest in Mediterranean regions where Anthyllis cytisoides L. grows. In these areas …

The effect of drought upon phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1. 1.31), malate
ddiydrogenase (MDH; EC 1.1. 1.37), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; EC 1.1. 1.1) and β …

A significant decrease in water potential of leaf and nodulated root was evinced when plants
of pigeonpea were subjected to two levels of drought, ie, at soil water potential of− 0.77 MPa …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. 235) plants were grown in sand culture at moisture equal to
45–50% of sand saturation capacity under greenhouse conditions. 60 d after sowing, pots …

The partitioning and utilization of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in nodulated roots and
nodules of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was studied at two moisture levels at 10-d intervals …

Plants normally function as physiological units that respond to ambient conditions regulating
their water relations, mostly independent of other organisms that co-occur in the same …
