Biological nitrogen fixation in rhizobia occurs primarily in root or stem nodules and is
induced by the bacteria present in legume plants. This symbiotic process has fascinated …

Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via
symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia …

Fabaceae are the third largest angiosperm family, with 765 genera and∼ 19 500 species.
They are important both economically and ecologically, and global Fabaceae crops are …

The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-
monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six …

Economically, legumes (Fabaceae) represent the second most important family of crop
plants after the grass family, Poaceae. Grain legumes account for 27% of world crop …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) process makes legume crops self-sufficient in nitrogen (N)
in sharp contrast to cereal crops that require an external input by N-fertilizers. Since the latter …
