Legumes engage in a unique and beneficial interaction with a group of soil bacteria, collectively called rhizobia. Rhizobium-legume symbioses lead to the development of new plant organs on the roots called nodules, which host rhizobia. Competent rhizobia within these nodules use a process called nitrogen fixation to convert atmospheric nitrogen, which cannot be used by the plant, into ammonium, which can be used as a nitrogen source.  This is a highly valuable process as nitrogen is limited in agricultural systems.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-09-salt-stress-legume-responses-symbiotic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Salt stress alters legume responses to symbiotic rhizobacteria by modulating gene expression<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crop legumes are an integral part of sustainable agriculture, as several of these species represent an important protein source for both human and animal populations.
