Mycelial network-mediated rhizobial dispersal enhances legume nodulation

W Zhang, XG Li, K Sun, MJ Tang, FJ Xu… - The ISME …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The access of rhizobia to legume host is a prerequisite for nodulation. Rhizobia are poorly
motile in soil, while filamentous fungi are known to grow extensively across soil pores. Since …

Do techniques based on 15N enrichment and 15N natural abundance give consistent estimates of the symbiotic dependence of N2-fixing plants?

PM Chalk, CT Inácio, FC Balieiro, JRC Rouws - Plant and soil, 2016 - Springer
Aims The primary aim of this review is to determine if methods based on 15 N enrichment (E)
and 15 N natural abundance (NA) give consistent estimates of the proportional dependence …

Selection of competitive and efficient rhizobia strains for white clover

P Irisarri, G Cardozo, C Tartaglia, R Reyno… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org

Nutrient demand and fungal access to resources control the carbon allocation to the symbiotic partners in tripartite interactions of Medicago truncatula

A Kafle, K Garcia, X Wang, PE Pfeffer… - Plant, Cell & …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Legumes form tripartite interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobia, and both
root symbionts exchange nutrients against carbon from their host. The carbon costs of these …

Fields with no recent legume cultivation have sufficient nitrogen-fixing rhizobia for crops of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

Nitrogen but not phosphorus addition affects symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in natural and semi-natural grasslands located on four continents

E Vázquez, PM Schleuss, ET Borer, MN Bugalho… - Plant and Soil, 2022 - Springer
Background and aims The amount of nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic N2 fixation by
legumes in grasslands might be affected by anthropogenic N and phosphorus (P) inputs, but …

Sward composition and soil moisture conditions affect nitrous oxide emissions and soil nitrogen dynamics following urea-nitrogen application

CJ Bracken, GJ Lanigan, KG Richards, C Müller… - Science of The Total …, 2020 - Elsevier
Increased emissions of N 2 O, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), from agricultural soils is a
major concern for the sustainability of grassland agriculture. Emissions of N 2 O are closely …

Nitrogen fixation by common beans in crop mixtures is influenced by growth rate of associated species

A Singh, C Schöb, PPM Iannetta - BMC Plant Biology, 2023 - Springer
Background Legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) and facilitate N availability to their
companion plants in crop mixtures. However, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of legumes …
