The first paradigm of plant breeding involves direct selection-based phenotypic observation,
followed by predictive breeding using statistical models for quantitative traits constructed …

Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

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

Current disease resistance breeding, which is largely dependent on the exploitation of
resistance genes in host plants, faces the serious challenges of rapidly evolving …

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 …

In the ecosystem, microbiome widely exists in soil, animals, and plants. With the rapid
development of computational biology, sequencing technology and omics analysis, the …

Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

Most land plants benefit from endosymbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi, including
legumes and some nonlegumes that also interact with endosymbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can form a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship
with most land plants. They are known to secrete lysin motif (LysM) effectors into host root …

Our current food production systems are unsustainable, driven in part through the
application of chemically fixed nitrogen. We need alternatives to empower farmers to …
