Abstract excerpt
Soil salinity poses a major challenge to the legume-rhizobia symbiosis development, thereby affecting sustainable agriculture. Selecting NaCl-tolerant strains and enhancing the native strains' fitness under salt stress are essential steps for the restoration of marginal areas. In this work, 49 Sinorhizobium meliloti strains, the rhizobial species forming symbiotic nitrogen-fixing associations with...
