A gene expression atlas of the model legume Medicago truncatula. (2008, background): “It is estimated that 40–60 million tonnes of N are fixed annually by cultivated legumes (Smil, 1999), saving about US$10 billion on nitrogen fertilizer (Graham and Vance, 2003).”
Legume– Rhizobium Symbioses as a Tool for Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Soils (2011, methodology): “The use of legume plants for soil N enrichment is a very old agricultural practice (De Hoff and Hirsch 2003; Graham and Vance 2003) and has been employed for”
Maize-grain legume intercropping is an attractive option for ecological intensification that reduces climatic risk for smallholder farmers in central Mozambique (2012, background): “Despite the many benefits, the importance of legumes in the farming systems of the tropics is hampered by lack of information, seed costs, and poor market infrastructure (Graham and Vance, 2003).”
Effects of Biofertilizer Produced from Bradyrhizobium and Streptomyces griseoflavus on Plant Growth, Nodulation, Nitrogen Fixation, Nutrient Uptake, and Seed Yield of Mung Bean, Cowpea, and Soybean (2019, background): “About one-third of human dietary protein is derived from grain legumes [2].”
Achievements and Challenges in Legume Breeding for Pest and Disease Resistance (2015, background): “OF MAJOR BIOTIC STRESSES ON LEGUME CROPS Grain and forage legumes are among the most important crops worldwide just behind cereals for both animal and human consumptions (Graham and Vance, 2003).”
The potential of pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in Africa (2007, background): “Nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements on earth (Vance, 2001) yet the most limiting nutrient for increasing crop productivity (Wani et al. , 1995; Graham and Vance, 2003).”
Use of 15N stable isotope to quantify nitrogen transfer between mycorrhizal plants (2009, background): “Nitrogen transfer from one plant (donor) to another (receiver) is of fundamental importance in N2-fixing plant-based agricultural and natural ecosystems (Chalk 1998; Graham and Vance 2003; Forrester et al. 2006; Fujita et al. 1992; Stern 1993).”
Full Length Research Paper Isolation of protease producing novel Bacillus cereus and detection of optimal conditions (2011, background): “Legume plants belong to the main single source of vegetable protein in human diets and livestock feed, having major impacts on agriculture, environment and even health (Graham and Vance, 2003; Dita et al., 2006).”
