Sinorhizobium meliloti XJ96077 was isolated from root nodules of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Xinjiang Region of China. Nodulation experiments showed that both soybean and alfalfa were effectively nodulated by XJ96077. The DNA (G+ C) mol% of strain XJ96077 was 61.9%. The DNA homologies of strain XJ96077 were 93% and 80% with S. meliloti USDA1002T and 042BM, respectively. These results showed that XJ96077 belongs to Sinorhizobium meliloti. To prove the capability of XJ96077 to nodulate both soybean and alfalfa, constitutively expressed green fluorescence protein gene gfp was introduced to XJ96077, and the recombinant strain XJ96077(G) was obtained. Root nodules of the soybean and alfalfa inoculated with XJ96077(G) and the expression of gfp were observed using the confocal laser scanning microscope. XJ96077 showed various nodulation capacities with different soybean cultivars.

Background/objectives: The balanced regulation of innate immunity plays essential roles in rhizobial infection and the establishment and maintenance of symbiosis. The evolutionarily conserved cell death suppressor Bax inhibitor-1 plays dual roles in nodule symbiosis, providing a valuable clue in balancing immunity and symbiosis, while it remains largely unexplored in the legume .
Methods/results: In the present report, the gene family of was identified and characterized.

This study introduces an innovative cumulative link modeling (CLM) approach to monitor crop progress over large areas using remote sensing data. Two distinct models are developed, a fixed-effects CLM and a mixed-effects one that incorporates annual random effects to capture the inherent inter-seasonal variability. Inference is based on partial-likelihood with two law variations, the standard CLM based on the multinomial distribution and a novel one based on the product binomial distribution.

Article Synopsis
- * The review assesses the effects of insect meal on ruminal fermentation, digestibility, and overall animal performance, using a limited dataset for analysis, suggesting no negative impacts on these factors when insects partially replace protein sources.
- * Notably, the Oriental Hornet was found to enhance growth and digestion in ruminants, while it is recommended that insect inclusion in diets should not exceed 30% to maintain optimal fermentation processes.

Article Synopsis
- Dietary fiber, especially from alfalfa, is important for improving reproductive performance in pregnant Songliao Black sows, which are being studied in gestation.
- The study involved 40 sows fed different ratios of alfalfa (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) to analyze the effects through various scientific methods, including metabolomics and microbial composition analysis.
- Results indicated that diets containing 10% and 20% alfalfa positively impacted reproductive performance by promoting beneficial gut microbes and increasing the diversity of these bacterial communities.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates mitochondrial calcium uniporters (MCUs) in three alfalfa cultivars, identifying a total of 31 MCU genes and classifying them into three subfamilies.
- Most MCU genes contained one intron, and gene duplication was observed both within and between different cultivars.
- Expression analysis revealed that certain MCU genes responded to environmental stresses like drought and salt, suggesting their roles in helping alfalfa adapt to abiotic stress conditions.
