Towards Appraising the Impact of Legume Research
• Research into the adoption of improved legume varieties provides evidence that farmers are now growing these in many developing countries and regions. • There has been large-scale adoption of improved chickpea varieties in southern India and small-scale adoption in the Horn of Africa. Specifically, there has been a shift in cultivated area from north to south/central India that is attributed ...

متن کاملLegume-nodulating betaproteobacteria: diversity, host range, and future prospects.

Although the majority of legumes form symbioses with members of genus Rhizobium and its relatives in class Alphaproteobacteria, some legumes, such as those in the large genus Mimosa, are nodulated predominantly by betaproteobacteria in the genera Burkholderia ...

متن کاملLegume Shrubs Are More Nitrogen-Homeostatic than Non-legume Shrubs
Legumes are characterized as keeping stable nutrient supply under nutrient-limited conditions. However, few studies examined the legumes' stoichiometric advantages over other plants across various taxa in natural ecosystems. We explored differences in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry of different tissue types (leaf, stem, and root) between N2-fixing legume shrubs and non-N2-fixing ...
