Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Principal component analysis showed a clear difference in chickpea root exudates between nitrogen deficiency and control.
- Intervention effect The intensity of two root-exudate features significantly increased under nitrogen deficiency.
- Observation Two prominent root-exudate peaks were identified as the O-methylated isoflavones pratensein and biochanin A.
- Intervention effect Pratensein applied with M. ciceri at sowing promoted chickpea nodulation.
- Mechanism Pratensein and biochanin A are chickpea nod gene inducers.
- Recommendation Pratensein can be useful for increasing nodulation efficiency in chickpea production.
