Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity
Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous ...
Reducing spatial variability of soybean response to rhizobia inoculants in farms of variable soil fertility in Siaya County of western Kenya
Soybean grain yields in sub-Saharan Africa have remained at approximately 50% below those attained in South America despite numerous efforts. A study was conducted in Siaya County (western Kenya) involving 107 farms with ...
Identification and distribution of microsymbionts associated with soybean nodulation in Mozambican soils
Indigenous soybean rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules sampled from farmers’ fields in Mozambique to determine their identity, distribution and symbiotic relationships. Plant infection assays revealed variable ...
Phenotypic, host range and symbiotic characteristics of indigenous soybean nodulating rhizobia from Ethiopian soils
Soybean is an exotic crop to Ethiopia and may not necessarily have a specific endosymbiont in the soil. However, since it is a promiscuous host, nodulated by cross nodulating rhizobia, it is likely that some compatible ...
