TL;DR: The preliminary results of their agronomic performance showed that they have a great potential for high grain yield in the conditions of Serbia, and promising results in breeding winter hardy cultivars were achieved with several vetch species, as well as with lentil and grass pea, and will be continued with more species including Medicago truncatula.

TL;DR: Effective and plant-controlled ineffectivc (N 2 -fixing) broadbean and broadbenn recessive for the sym-1 gene were compared for nodule structure, developmental expression of nodule enzyme activities, enzyme proteins, and mRNAs involved in a assimilation, leghemoglobin synthesis, and acetylene reduction activity.

TL;DR: This study investigated the physiology of plants in response to drought when grown on a soil containing high or low levels of microbial diversity, and provided proof of concept that the soil microbial community as a whole plays a key role for yield stability after drought even in plant species living in relationships with microbial symbionts.

TL;DR: This work integrated the map positions of two such nodulation mutations, sym9 and sym10, into the molecular map of pea by applying molecular-marker techniques combined with bulked segregant analysis (BSA).

TL;DR: This study identifies pea lines, QTL, closely-linked markers and candidate genes for marker-assisted-selection of RSA loci to reduce Aphanomyces root rot severity in future pea varieties.
