The Cell Membrane of a Novel Rhizobium phaseoli Strain Is the Crucial Target for Aluminium Toxicity and Tolerance
(CELL, 2022-03-03)
Soils with low pH and high aluminium (Al) contamination restrict common bean production, mainly due to adverse effects on rhizobia. We isolated a novel rhizobium strain, B3, from Kenyan soil which is more tolerant to Al ...
Rhizobia Contribute to Salinity Tolerance in Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(Cell, 2022-11-16)
Rhizobia are soil bacteria that induce nodule formation on leguminous plants. In the nodules, they reduce dinitrogen to ammonium that can be utilized by plants. Besides nitrogen fixation, rhizobia have other symbiotic ...
Molecular Characterization of Indigenous Rhizobia from Kenyan Soils Nodulating with Common Beans
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023-05-30)
: Kenya is the seventh most prominent producer of common beans globally and the second
leading producer in East Africa. However, the annual national productivity is low due to insufficient
quantities of vital nutrients ...
