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 …

Nitrogen (N2) fixation is one of the most important biological processes on earth, with a
commonly accepted estimate for global N2 fixation of 175 million metric tons (Tg) annually …

Due to their complementary roles in meeting plant nutritional needs, arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (N 2-fixers) may have synergistic effects on plant …

This chapter provides a brief overview of the methodologies that have been used to quantify
N2 fixation of legumes and then focuses in more detail on the particular ones that people …

Seven Rhizobium strains associated with various legume species grown in different
geographical regions of China were defined into four genomic groups related to Rhizobium …

Simple Summary “Rhizobia” are alpha-and beta-proteobacteria with the ability to associate
in symbiosis with legumes, establishing complex root structures (nodules) where the …

It is generally accepted that there are two major centers of genetic diversification of common
beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): the Mesoamerican (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and north of …

A total of 63 bacterial strains were isolated from root nodules of Kummerowia striata and K.
stipulacea grown in different geographic regions of China. These bacteria could be divided …

Rhizobia, producing species-specific exopolysaccharides (EPSs), comprise a very diverse
group of soil bacteria that are able to establish nitrogen-fixing symbioses with legumes …

This Atlas of Vascular Plants in Kentucky is a first approximation. We hope it will become
part of a gradual process to refine the listing of species, and to complete their mapping …
