• Nitrogen fixation in legumes and actinorhizal plants in natural ecosystems: values obtained using 15N natural abundance (2011, background): “Many, but not all, legumes have the capacity to fix atmospheric N2 via symbiotic bacteria (generally termed ‘rhizobia’) in root, and for a few species, stem nodules (Sprent 2009).”
• Do plants need nitrate? The mechanisms by which nitrogen form affects plants (2013, background): “from symbiotic microorganisms that fix atmospheric N2 (Franche et al., 2009; Sprent, 2009; Andrews et al., 2011b; Taulé et al., 2012; Urquiaga et al., 2012).”
• Global legume diversity assessment: Concepts, key indicators, and strategies (2013, background): “Among the three subfamilies of legumes, nodulation has long been known to be rare in paraphyletic Caesalpinioideae, common in Mimosoideae, and very common in Papilionoideae (Allen & Allen, 1981; Doyle & al., 1997; Sprent & James, 2007; Sprent, 2007, 2009).”
• Novel Burkholderia bacteria isolated from Lebeckia ambigua – A perennial suffrutescent legume of the fynbos (2013, result): “This is consistent with the morphology and structure which are found in nodules of other crotalarioid legumes ( Renier et al., 2011; Sprent, 2009) and have been proposed to have evolutionary significance ( Sprent, 2007).”
• Legume phylogeny and classification in the 21st century: Progress, prospects and lessons for other species-rich clades (2013, background): “In the Caesalpinioideae, the ability to nodulate is restricted to a few genera, three of which, Chamaecrista, Melanoxylon and Recordoxylon, are members of this clade (though nodulation records for the latter are ambiguous; Sprent, 2001, 2009).”
• From North to South: A latitudinal look at legume nodulation processes (2013, background): “The CFR legumes are arbuscular mycorrhizal and many have cluster roots (Sprent, 2009), but to our knowledge none is also ectomycorrhizal.”
• Nitrogen and phosphorus interact to control tropical symbiotic N2 fixation: a test in Inga punctata (2013, background): “fixation’) as these fixers are abundant in many tropical forests, have access to substantial reducing power (light) and can catalyse high rates of ecosystem N2 input (Hedin et al. 2009; Sprent 2009; Barron, Purves & Hedin 2011).”
