Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

C and N are the most important essential elements constituting organic compounds in
plants. The shoots and roots depend on each other by exchanging C and N through the …

Water and nitrogen availability limit crop productivity globally more than most other
environmental factors. Plant availability of macronutrients such as nitrate is, to a large extent …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

Melatonin can alleviate the growth inhibition and plant damage resulting from drought …

Although yield and total biomass produced by annual legumes remain major objectives for
breeders, other issues such as environment-friendly, resource use efficiency including …

Legumes establish symbiotic associations with rhizobia for biological nitrogen fixation. This
process is highly regulated by various abiotic stresses, but the underlying genetic and …

Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the most important grain legume crops in
the world. Soybean forms a symbiotic relationship with the nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria …

Plants often experience various biotic and abiotic stresses during their life cycle. The abiotic
stresses include mainly drought, salt, temperature (low/high), flooding and nutritional …

Symbiotic nodules formed on legume roots with rhizobia fix atmospheric N2. Bacteria reduce
N2 to NH4+ that is assimilated into amino acids by the plant. In return, the plant provides …
