Drought is considered to be a major threat to soybean production worldwide and yet our
current understanding of the effects of drought on soybean productively is largely based on …

Members of the plant family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) are unique in that they have evolved
a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia (a group of soil bacteria that can fix atmospheric …

In legume nodules, symbiosomes containing endosymbiotic rhizobial bacteria act as
temporary plant organelles that are responsible for nitrogen fixation, these bacteria develop …

Transition metals such as iron, copper, zinc, or molybdenum are essential nutrients for
plants. These elements are involved in almost every biological process, including …

Legumes are essential components of agricultural systems because they enrich the soil in
