Although its role in symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes is well established, claims of wider necessity across higher plants often rely on limited evidence, repeated citation patterns, and insufficient distinction between true physiological requirement and plant exposure under varying environmental conditions. This review critically reassesses the addition of cobalt to agricultural soils by examining whether its routine inclusion in fertilisation practice is scientifically justified. Methods Available evidence, including recent reviews and primary studies on cobalt in the soil–plant system, is critically reviewed, focusing on agricultural soils, cobalt inputs and plant responses. Results The review identifies a narrow and context-dependent range between reported beneficial and adverse cobalt responses, highlights the role of soil properties in controlling cobalt availability and uptake, and summarises the implications of cobalt loading for plant physiology and soil health. Conclusion By integrating current knowledge on cobalt inputs in agricultural soils, plant responses, phytotoxicity and soil-health implications, this review argues that cobalt should not be treated uncritically as a routine fertiliser constituent. Instead, its use should be preceded by soil-specific assessment and considered within a more precautionary framework.","PeriodicalId":20223,"journal":{"name":"Plant and Soil","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149090304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the most ecologically relevant actinorhizal plants are  Casuarina species, used widely in shelter belts and phytoremediation due to their high tolerance to abiotic stresses and ability to thrive on marginal soils. All sequenced Frankia strains isolated from Casuarina nodules using standard culture techniques show high sequence identity and belong to a single species, Frankia casuarinae . This lack of diversity in nodules is unusual in actinorhizal symbioses. We hypothesized that Casuarina nodules are colonized by Frankia strains that could not be cultivated and exhibit genome erosion. Methods To test this, we directly sequenced nodule metagenomes from four countries, followed by reconstruction of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). Results Our findings show that the dominant Frankia genotypes in field samples were far more diverse than the isolated strains and included MAGs with substantial genome reduction – one having over 25% reduction compared to F. casuarinae . Notably, we observed erosion of two types of [NiFe] hydrogenases, a phenomenon linked to evolution toward obligate symbiosis in other Frankia groups. Conclusion These results indicate that potentially obligate symbionts may dominate nodules in nature but had gone undetected by conventional approaches. For applications such as reforestation or tsunami shelter belts, crushed, nodule-derived strains may offer superior ecological compatibility. We speculate that Frankia strains followed two different evolutionary trajectories; one, towards obligate symbiosis accompanied by strong genome erosion, and two, towards rhizosphere colonization involving limited genome erosion.","PeriodicalId":20223,"journal":{"name":"Plant and Soil","volume":"483 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149090312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Silicon-mediated alleviation of salinity stress in wheat is linked to reduced sodium accumulation but depends on cultivar and silicon source","authors":"Jannatul Ferdous,Rhiannon Rowe,Kun Ning,Zhong-Hua Chen,David T. Tissue,Scott N. Johnson","doi":"10.1007/s11104-026-09104-3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-026-09104-3","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background and aims Soil salinity constrains crop productivity globally, yet mitigation strategies often involve economic or environmental trade-offs. Silicon (Si) supplementation is a potential approach to alleviate salinity stress, although responses are inconsistent and may depend on Si source and plant genotype. This study aimed to quantify growth responses of contrasting wheat cultivars to salinity and evaluate whether different Si sources modify these responses by reducing sodium (Na  + ) accumulation. Methods Ten wheat cultivars were grown under saline or non-saline conditions and treated with one of three Si supplementation regimes: granular amorphous Si, liquid amorphous Si, and liquid potassium silicate. Plant biomass and foliar Si and Na + concentrations were measured and compared with non-supplemented plants. Results Salinity reduced root and shoot biomass by approximately 36% and 26%, respectively, across cultivars, with substantial cultivar variation in sensitivity. Si-mediated mitigation of salinity-induced biomass loss was strongly dependent on cultivar and Si source, ranging from substantial growth improvements (+ 114% and + 133% in roots and shoots, respectively) to neutral or negative responses. Liquid Si formulations provided the most consistent alleviation of salinity-induced biomass loss. Where effective, Si supplementation reduced shoot Na + accumulation under saline conditions and there was a negative correlation between foliar Si and Na + in five of the ten cultivars. Conclusion Si supplementation mitigates salinity stress in wheat, potentially by reducing Na + accumulation, but its effectiveness depends on both cultivar and Si source. Liquid Si offers more consistent short-term benefits. Cultivar selection with targeted Si management may therefore underpin crop resilience to salinity.","PeriodicalId":20223,"journal":{"name":"Plant and Soil","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149092133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reclaimed and treated street cleansing residues (SCRs), which are produced in large quantities and often added to landfill, can potentially provide a suitable ‘circular economy’ alternative to virgin soils. Methods The response of silver birch ( Betula pendula; N  =  60 ) – a fast-growing and common street tree – was tested in a range of manufactured soils derived from SCRs ( N  = 4) and compared against a range of commercially-available comparator soils ( N  = 4) to assess the suitability of the manufactured soils and identify any potentially deleterious elements within the waste-derived soils to either be removed within the process or mitigated in subsequent soil refinements. Key soil parameters (including pH, organic matter and carbon and nitrogen contents) together with tree-health parameters (using non-destructive techniques, e.g. tree growth, chlorophyll estimation/extraction and leaf nitrogen contents) were monitored over a 12-months period. Results Different physico-chemical properties were recorded for the tested soils, with higher pH, elevated C:N ratios and organic matter contents in the waste-derived (-blend) soils, which performed comparably to commercial soils in supporting tree growth, but also showed significant differences in tree growth. Smartphone-based techniques, e.g. contact-image chlorophyll estimation approaches showed suitability to monitor ‘overall tree health’, whereas extracted chlorophyll and leaf nitrogen contents showed healthy tree growth in B. pendula . Conclusion This research demonstrates for the first time that recovered road sweepings can grow healthy trees and can therefore be used successfully as a soil in urban planting schemes. If scalable and pending regulatory approval and more extensive testing (i.e. additional species, longer growing periods), use of road sweeping derived soil could be a significant benefit to the circular economy of urban regions, providing a valuable use for otherwise discarded waste, supporting urban greening agendas, and reducing the demand for natural soils.","PeriodicalId":20223,"journal":{"name":"Plant and Soil","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149090313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
