Sustainable Strategy to Boost Legumes Growth under Salinity and Drought Stress ...
Ben Gaied, Roukaya; Brígido, Clarisse; Sbissi, I.; Tarhouni, M.The escalating risks of drought and salinization due to climate change and anthropogenic activities are a major global concern. Rhizobium–legume (herb or tree) symbiosis is proposed as an ideal solution for improving soil fertility and rehabilitating arid lands, representing a crucial direction for future research. Consequently, several studies have focused on enhancing legume tolerance to drought and salinity ...
Determine the Symbiotic nitrogen fixation bacterial community structure in legu...
Sbissi, I.; Ben Gaied, R.; Brígido, ClarisseThe legume symbiosis with rhizobia (Root Nodulating Bacteria, BNLs) has been recognized as essential to sustainable agriculture since the intimate partnership has the ability to relieve host legumes from nitrogen fertilizer reliance and boost soil fertility. Legume–BNL interactions take place in the rhizosphere, where the two symbiotic partners exchange signals (such as flavonoids released by the host plant and...
Deciphering the hidden potentials of bacterial communities isolated from root n...
Ben Gaied, R; Sbissi, I.; Tarhouni, M.; Brígido, ClarisseIn an Era where climate change imposes difficult challenges for agricultural sustainability, there’s a growing urgency for the development of novel strategies to guarantee both plant productivity and soil fertility. In this context, particular attention was given to plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) associated with native legumes in arid habitats due to their natural adaptability to extreme environments. D...
Genomic Insights into a Desert-Adapted Sinorhizobium Strain from the Tunisian S...
Ben Gaied, Roukaya; Sbissi, I.; Kaur, S.; diCenzo, G. C; Brígido, ClarisseNitrogen fixation by rhizobia in symbiosis with legumes is essential for nitrogen cycling and sustainable agriculture and plays a critical role in the survival of native leguminous plants in the arid and Saharan environments of Tunisia. The Sinorhizobium meliloti strain IRAMC:0087, initially isolated from the root nodules of the Saharan shrub Calobota saharae in southern Tunisia, can establish nodulation with V...
