The NIN transcription factor coordinates CEP and CLE signaling peptides that regulate nodulation antagonistically by Carole Laffont, Ariel Ivanovici, Pierre Gautrat, Mathias Brault, Michael Anthony Djordjevic, Florian Frugier

“…Abstract Legumes tightly regulate nodule number to balance the cost of supporting symbiotic rhizobia with the benefits of nitrogen fixation. C-terminally Encoded Peptides (CEPs) and CLAVATA3-like (CLE) peptides positively and negatively regulate nodulation, respectively, through independent systemic pathways, but how these regulations are coordinated remains unknown. …”

Evaluation of herbaceous legumes for crop-livestock systems in eastern Indonesia by Kendrick Cox, Jacob Nulik, Neal Dalgliesh, Esnawan Budisantoso, Paskalis Fernandes, Jefrianus Praing, Philip Dida, Jak Uran, Marcel Meomuku, Debora Kana Hau, Tony Basuki, Lindsay Bell

“…An opportunity was identified to grow herbaceous forage legumes either in rotation with, or sown within, staple grain crops (maize, rice) to use surplus soil moisture to produce a feed bank for (mostly penned) cattle and potentially increase nitrogen supply to the grain crops. A series of experiments was conducted on Vertisol, Alfisol and Inceptisol soils in lowland and upland districts of eastern Indonesia to identify legumes from 18 taxa suitable for integrated crop-forage systems. …”
