The appeal of using microbial inoculants to mediate plant traits and productivity in managed
ecosystems has increased over the past decade, because microbes represent an alternative …

In an agro‐ecosystem, industrially produced nitrogenous fertilizers are the principal sources
of nitrogen for plant growth; unfortunately these also serve as the leading sources of …

It is commonly thought that when multiple carbon sources are available, bacteria metabolize
them either sequentially (diauxic growth) or simultaneously (co-utilization). However, this …

In the current era of environmental disasters and the necessity of sustainable development,
bacterial endophytes have gotten attention for their role in improving agricultural productivity …

Abstract Background New genomic techniques (NGTs) allow new genotypes and traits to be
developed in different ways and with different outcomes compared to previous genetic …

Rhizobia are ecologically important, facultative plant-symbiotic microbes. In nature, there is
a large variability in the association of rhizobial strains and host plants of the same species …

Rhizosphere and plant-associated microorganisms have been intensely studied for their
beneficial effects on plant growth and health. These mainly include nitrogen-fixing bacteria …

Many important plant traits are products of nested symbiosis: mobile genetic elements
(MGEs) are nested within microbes, which in turn, are nested within plants. Plant trait …

NMR metabolomics represents a powerful tool to characterize the cellular effects of drugs
and gain detailed insight into their mode of action. Here, we have exploited NMR …

Associations between leguminous plants and symbiotic nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are a classic
example of mutualism between a eukaryotic host and a specific group of prokaryotic …
