Abstract excerpt
Nodule color and morphology are key readouts of legume symbiotic performance. However, long-term preservation of post-excavation nodules with intact morphology, color, and microbial cleanliness remains a major challenge. This study developed a two-stage aqueous-phase preservation method (TAPP) that enables rapid structural fixation and long-term chemical stabilization. A comprehensive evaluation was subsequently...
