Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Phosphorus Application and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation on the Growth of American Jointvetch and Greenleaf DesmodiumManabu Tobisa, Yoshinori UchidaThis study examined the growth and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) colonization of two tropical forage legumes, namely, American jointvetch (Aj) and Greenleaf desmodium (Gd), at two phosphate application rates (0 or 10 g P m-2 yr-1; -P or +P), with or without AM (+AM or -AM) in a pot experiment. AM inoculation and P application promoted the growth of both species. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2017 · 8,148 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Bradyrhizobium Japonicum on Nitrogen Concentration in Soybean Leaves and Seeds Cultivated on Acidic SoilsBen Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi, Fabien Kitengie Kitengie, Jonas Lwamuguma Bagaluza et al.The legume-rhizobium symbiosis plays an important role in Nitrogen (N) uptake by plants, more particularly in the humid tropical region where soils are deeply weathered and have poor electrochemical properties. However, the influence of Bradyrhizobium on N allocation in soybean organs is not clearly understood. Here, we assessed the effect of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on the N concentration of soybean leaves … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2022 · 7,663 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Prediction and Functional Characterization of Genes Related to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)Sukhdeep Kaur, Satendra Singh, Gitanjali Tandon et al.Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is second largest grown legumes worldwide contributing 75% of total pulse production. It is a cool season legume crop and grown in tropical and subtropical areas. Due to drastic climatic changes, chickpea suffers from many biotic (blight and wilt) and abiotic (salinity, drought, cold) stresses that directly impact the growth and yield. In our study, we … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2017 · 14,188 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characteristics and Pathogenicity of Synchytrium psophocarpi (Rac.) Baumann Associated With False Rust on Winged BeanAbdollah Karami, Zainal Abidin Mior Ahmad, Kamaruzaman SijamProblem statement: Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) is an important tropical legume in countries like Malaysia due to its potential as a high protein value crop. However, bright-orange pustules observed on the veins of young leaves, stems, pods and sepals depict symptoms of false rust disease on beans. The causal agent of this disease has been found to be Synchytrium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 9,577 accessesView PDF Cite
