Rhizobial bacteria have been established not to be the only residents of the root nodules of
legumes. Non-rhizobial bacteria have also been found in legume root nodules, but their …

Plant microbiomes play an important role in agricultural productivity, but there is still much to
learn about their provenance, diversity, and organization. In order to study the role of vertical …

Rhizobia interact with leguminous plants in the soil to form nitrogen fixing nodules in which
rhizobia and plant cells coexist. Although there are emerging studies on rhizobium …

Soil microbes play a vital role in improving plant growth, crop productivity, and soil health
through solubilization of essential nutrients. Present investigation was conducted to access …

Soybean root nodules are known to contain a high diversity of both rhizobial endophytes
and nonrhizobial endophytes (NREs). Nevertheless, the variation of these bacteria among …

The microbiome in plant-soil systems has a significant influence in promoting plant growth.
Despite this, the extent of selectivity that the plant exerts on the microbiome in the continuum …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a key process for the N input in agriculture, with
outstanding economic and environmental benefits from the replacement of chemical …

Excess phosphorus (P) in surface runoff has significant deleterious impacts on water quality
through eutrophication. Commonly, P is transported via non-point pollution and the …

Microbiomes associated with various plant structures often contain members with the
potential to make specialized metabolites, eg, molecules with antibacterial, antifungal, or …

Background Desmodium species used as intercrops in push-pull cropping systems are
known to repel insect-pests, suppress Striga species weeds, and shift soil microbiome …
