NopP2 effector of Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61 is a determinant of nodulation in Vigna radiata cultivars.

The symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia is known to be influenced by specific rhizobial type III effectors (T3Es) in certain cases. In this study, we present evidence that the symbiosis between Vigna radiata and Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61 is controlled by a T3E called NopP2, and this interaction is highly dependent on the genetic makeup of the host plant. NopP2 plays a crucial role in promoting nodulation in various V.

Enhancing Resistance to Cercospora Leaf Spot in Mung Bean L.) through sp. DOA9 Priming: Molecular Insights and Bio-Priming Potential.

Mung bean ( L.), a vital legume in Asia with significant nutritional benefits, is highly susceptible to Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by , leading to significant yield losses. As an alternative to chemical fungicides, bio-priming with rhizobacteria can enhance plant resistance.
