The abstract is read at the publisher; the summary is JClub's.

Nodulated Vicia sativa and Pisum sativum show markedly enhanced survival and grain production under prolonged salt stress versus nitrogen-fertilised controls.

Why it matters: Soil salinisation limits crop yield, and while salinity impairs nodulation and nitrogen fixation, how symbiosis affects plant salt tolerance is unclear.
What they did: The study integrates physiological, biochemical, transcriptomic, ionomic, and metabolomic analyses to compare nodulated plants with N-fed controls under moderate and prolonged salt stress.
The result: Nodulation maintains water status and stomatal conductance, reduces Na+ accumulation while improving K+ retention, lowers proline and malondialdehyde, and is linked to moderated stress-pathway activation and more stable carbon–nitrogen metabolism.

Enhancement of Arabidopsis Growth by Enterobacter sp. SA187 Under Elevated CO(2) Is Dependent on Ethylene Signalling Activation and Primary Metabolism Reprogramming.
Plant, Cell & Environment · 1 Nov 2026 · Journal Article
AI summary · may contain errors
Enterobacter sp. SA187 enhances Arabidopsis thaliana growth under elevated CO2, and the effect depends on ethylene-signaling activation plus extensive plant gene-expression and primary-metabolism reprogramming.
