BACKGROUND AND AIMS The large monophyletic genus Mimosa comprises approx. 500 species, most of which are native to the New World, with Central Brazil being the main centre of radiation. All Brazilian Mimosa spp. so far examined are nodulated by rhizobia in the betaproteobacterial genus Burkholderia. Approximately 10 Mya, transoceanic dispersal resulted in the Indian subcontinent hosting up to s...

Symbiotic nitrogen (N)-fixing trees can drive N and carbon cycling and thus are critical components of future climate projections. Despite detailed understanding of how climate influences N-fixation enzyme activity and physiology, comparatively little is known about how climate influences N-fixing tree abundance. Here, we used forest inventory data from the USA and Mexico (>125,000 plots) along...

We report here the complete genome sequence of Mesorhizobium ciceri bv. biserrulae strain WSM1497, the efficient nitrogen-fixing microsymbiont and commercial inoculant in Australia of the forage legume Biserrula pelecinus The genome consists of 7.2 Mb distributed across a single chromosome (6.67 Mb) and a single plasmid (0.53 Mb).

Abstract Background For well over a century, rhizobia have been recognized as effective biofertilizer options for legume crops. This has led to the widespread use of rhizobial inoculants in agricultural systems, but recurring issue emerged: applied struggle provide growth benefits largely attributed presence soil and termed ‘rhizobial competition problem.’ Scope Microbiome engineering emerged m...

OBJECTIVE Four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from common vetch, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass on the Tibetan Plateau were characterized, and their effects on the fermentation quality of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) silage were studied. METHODS The four isolated strains and one commercial inoculant (G, Lactobacillus plantarum MTD-1) were evaluated using the aci...

Climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in Kenya is greatly undermined by low soil fertility, especially in agriculturally prolific areas. The use of effective native rhizobia inoculants to promote nitrogen fixation could be beneficial in climbing bean production. In this study, we carried out greenhouse and field experiments to evaluate symbiotic efficiency, compare the effect of nati...

The productivity of the faba bean has declined in Ethiopia, owing to poor management practices, such as blanket fertilisation. In 2018, a field experiment was conducted Nitisol soil during main cropping season Northwestern determine amount chemical fertiliser and Rhizobium inoculant be used for optimum yield within economic feasibility. consisted factorial combination five rates blended NPSZnB ...

People's purchasing power for animal protein has decreased and shifted to processed soy foods as one of the containing vegetable during Covid-19 pandemic due economic recession. Soybeans are a source high so they require lot Nitrogen (N). To fulfill demand soybeans, soybean cultivation can be carried out in acidic mineral soils with low pH. Acidic soil pH causes it difficult N nutrients availab...

abstract date palm, phoenix dactylifera, is one of the most important horticultural crops in iran. the most soils in iran, especially those cultivated with palm, are calcareous with high ph. the high ph of soil causes reduction of nutrient elements absorption. findings of researches show that application of elemental sulfur along with tiobacillus bacteria in soil, due to sulfur oxidation, reduc...
