Abstract

Global climatic change significantly modulates physiology of drought. Related are increase in CO2 concentration and mineral deficiency. Drought is one of the major stresses that limit agriculture productivity. Drought affects both legumes and their symbionts. Inoculated plants can better adapt under stress than un-inoculated ones. Inoculation with competitive and -tolerant microbes may be economically feasible way to enhance legume productivity in stressed environments. This review deals with the effects of drought, CO2 and minerals on Biological Nitrogen Fixation and possibility of the use of microbes in the amelioration of these stresses in legumes. CO2 enrichment under drought causes an enhancement of photo assimilation, an increased partitioning of carbon to nodules, whose main effect are to sustain nodule growth, which helped sustain N2 rates under soil water deficits.
