Abstract excerpt
Sustainable protein production is needed to ensure food security while mitigating climate change. Leguminous crops contribute to these goals by providing protein-rich seeds and improving soil fertility through nitrogen-fixing symbiosis (NFS) with rhizobia. Beyond their nutritional and agronomic benefits, legumes face major challenges from insect herbivores such as the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. While NFS can...
