Towards an ecological understanding of biological nitrogen fixation
- P. Vitousek, K. Cassman, +8 authors J. Sprent
- Biology
- 27 July 2002
N limitation to primary production and other ecosystem processes is widespread. To understand the causes and distribution of N limitation, we must understand the controls of biological N fixation.… Expand

Nodulation in Legumes
- J. Sprent
- Biology
- 15 January 2000
Nodulation in Legumes is a comprehensive evaluation of the major changes in taxonomy of both Leguminosae and rhizobia, with significant insights into the evolution and genetic structure of legumes… Expand
Evolving ideas of legume evolution and diversity: a taxonomic perspective on the occurrence of nodulation.
- J. Sprent
- Biology, Medicine
- The New phytologist
- 1 April 2007
Legumes evolved about 60 million years ago (Ma), and nodulation 58 Ma. Nonnodulation remains common in Caesalpinioideae, with smaller numbers in Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae. The first type of… Expand
Legume-nodulating betaproteobacteria: diversity, host range, and future prospects.
- P. Gyaneshwar, A. Hirsch, +9 authors E. James
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular plant-microbe interactions : MPMI
- 13 October 2011
Rhizobia form specialized nodules on the roots of legumes (family Fabaceae) and fix nitrogen in exchange for carbon from the host plant. Although the majority of legumes form symbioses with members… Expand
The dalbergioid legumes (Fabaceae): delimitation of a pantropical monophyletic clade.
- M. Lavin, R. Pennington, B. Klitgaard, J. Sprent, H. C. de Lima, P. Gasson
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of botany
- 1 March 2001
A monophyletic pantropical group of papilionoid legumes, here referred to as the "dalbergioid" legumes, is circumscribed to include all genera previously referred to the tribes Aeschynomeneae and… Expand
Burkholderia species are ancient symbionts of legumes.
- C. Bontemps, Geoffrey N. Elliott, +9 authors J. P. Young
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 2010
Burkholderia has only recently been recognized as a potential nitrogen-fixing symbiont of legumes, but we find that the origins of symbiosis in Burkholderia are much deeper than previously suspected.… Expand
The Ecology of the Nitrogen Cycle.
- R. H. Marrs, J. Sprent
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 25 December 1987
Preface Part I. General Features of the Nitrogen Cycle: 1. Introduction 2. Evolutionary and current constraints on the nitrogen cycle 3. Shortened and open nitrogen cycles: effects of environment… Expand
Organic matter in soil particle size and density fractions from maize and legume cropping systems
- E. Barrios, R. J. Buresh, J. Sprent
- Chemistry
- 1 February 1996
Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an essential role in biologically-mediated nutrient availability. There is, however, a lack of functionally-defined measures of SOM. We analysed C and N in… Expand
A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny
- N. Azani, M. Babineau, +94 authors E. Zimmerman
- Biology
- 1 February 2017
The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported… Expand
