Closed genomes of commercial inoculant rhizobia provide a blueprint for management of legume inoculation.

Appl Environ Microbiol

January 2025

Legume Rhizobium Sciences, Food Futures Institute, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia, Australia.

Unlabelled: Rhizobia are soil bacteria capable of establishing symbiosis within legume root nodules, where they reduce atmospheric N into ammonia and supply it to the plant for growth. Australian soils often lack rhizobia compatible with introduced agricultural legumes, so inoculation with exotic strains has become a common practice for over 50 years. While extensive research has assessed the N-fixing capabilities of these inoculants, their genomics, taxonomy, and core and accessory gene phylogeny are poorly characterized.

Pseudomonas in the spotlight: emerging roles in the nodule microbiome.

While rhizobia have long been recognised as the primary colonisers of legume nodules, microbiome studies have revealed the presence of other bacteria in these organs. This opinion delves into the factors shaping the nodule microbiome and explores the potential roles of non-rhizobial endophytes, focusing particularly on Pseudomonas as prominent players. We explore the mechanisms by which Pseudomonas colonise nodules, their interactions with rhizobia, and their remarkable potential to promote plant growth and protect against pathogens.

Legumes have the capability to form nodules that facilitate symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) with rhizobia. Given the substantial energy consumption during the process of SNF, legumes need to optimize nodule number in response to everchanging environmental scenarios. The TGACG BINDING FACTOR1/4 (TGA1/4) are key players in the basal immune response of plants.

GmERF13 mediates salt inhibition of nodulation through interacting with GmLBD16a in soybean.

While the genetic regulation of nodule formation has been well explored, the molecular mechanisms by which abiotic stresses, such as salt stress, impede nodule formation remain largely elusive. Here, we identify four APETALA2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors, GmERF13s, that are induced by salt stress and play key roles in salt-repressed nodulation. Loss of GmERF13 function increases nodule density, while its overexpression suppresses nodulation.
