Article Abstract
Unlabelled: A set of 165 Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from an interspecific cross of chickpea was used to identify QTLs for key biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) traits. The phenotyping of BNF and related traits was done at two different agroclimatic zones viz., Central plain zone (Ludhiana) and Sub-Mountainous undulating zone (Gurdaspur) for 2 consecutive seasons (2018-2020). Wild parent ILWC292 showed significantly high performance in terms of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) traits over the cultivated GPF-2. The triple interaction of genotypes × locations × years was significant ( 0.05) for all BNF traits in parental lines. Highly significant positive correlation was obtained between grain yield and key growth and symbiotic parameters at both the sites. Phenotypic analysis revealed nodule dry weight and leghaemoglobin content as key traits for BNF efficiency and contrasting DNA bulks were constituted on the basis of these traits. Out of 535 SSR markers, 139 exhibited polymorphism between the parental lines on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A total of 30 SSR markers showed polymorphism between the higher and lower bulks for nodule dry weight and leghaemoglobin content. Out of these, 20 SSRs did not show any segregation distortion in RIL population as determined by chi square analysis ( < 0.05) and were used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. Using QTL cartographer, markers- CAGM02697, CAGM09835, CAGM09777, CAGM09227, CAGM09021, CAGM08679 were found linked with QTLs for BNF. These markers can be validated further for identification of genes for BNF traits and marker assisted selection in chickpea. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on identification of genomic regions associated with key BNF traits in chickpea across different agro-climatic zones.

Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) efficiency in legume crops such as cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) has been less documented yet is key in improving yield performance and restoring soil fertility in sub-Saharan Africa. Nevertheless, little progress has been made in understanding the gene control of the BNF traits in cowpea to sustain the development of smart agriculture in this part of the world.

Archaea represents a significant population of up to 10% in soil microbial communities. The role of Archaea in soil is often overlooked mainly due to its unculturability. Among the three domains of life biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is mainly a trait of Eubacteria and some Archaea.

Article Synopsis
- Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is crucial for global nitrogen contributions, with symbiotic BNF from plants accounting for about 56% and free-living nitrogen fixers (FLNF) contributing 22-45%.
- This study investigated the diversity and functionality of FLNFs in the Indian Sundarbans, employing both cultivation-dependent and independent methods to analyze 235 bacterial isolates from mangrove environments.
- The results indicate a predominance of Gammaproteobacteria and Firmicutes, suggesting that these FLNFs are linked to various processes like iron oxidation and nutrient solubilization, highlighting their importance in overcoming environmental stresses in estuarine habitats.

Peanut yield and quality face significant threats due to climate change and soil degradation. The potential of biochar technology to address this challenge remains unanswered, though biochar is acknowledged for its capacity to enhance the soil microbial community and plant nitrogen (N) supply. A field study was conducted in 2021 on oil peanuts grown in a sand-loamy Primisol that received organic amendments at 20 Mg ha.
