Ethnopharmacology
Seeds of R. dasycarpa are traditionally used against urological and nephrological diseases (via oral ingestion) by Tashelhit speaking communities in the High Atlas.{{Cite journal |last1=Teixidor-Toneu |first1=Irene |last2=Martin |first2=Gary J. |last3=Ouhammou |first3=Ahmed |last4=Puri |first4=Rajindra K. |last5=Hawkins |first5=Julie A. |date=July 2016 |title=An ethnomedicinal survey of a Tashelhit-speaking community in the High Atlas, Morocco |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0378874116302719 |journal=Journal of Ethnopharmacology |language=en |volume=188 |pages=96–110 |doi=10.1016/j.jep.2016.05.009|pmid=27174082 }}
Symbiosis
Like most other legumes, R. dasycarpa forms nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with soil Bacteria known as rhizobia, specifically with members of the genus Bradyrhizobium. Plants studied in the High Atlas contained strains most closely related to B. lupini, B. frederickii, B. valentinum, and B. retamae.{{Cite journal |last1=Lamrabet |first1=Mouad |last2=Chaddad |first2=Zohra |last3=Bouhnik |first3=Omar |last4=Alami |first4=Soufiane |last5=Kaddouri |first5=Kaoutar |last6=Bennis |first6=Meryeme |last7=Lamin |first7=Hanane |last8=Mnasri |first8=Bacem |last9=Bourgerie |first9=Sylvain |last10=Morabito |first10=Domenico |last11=Abdelmoumen |first11=Hanaa |last12=Bedmar |first12=Eulogio J |last13=Missbah El Idrissi |first13=Mustapha |date=2023-04-07 |title=Different species of Bradyrhizobium from symbiovars genistearum and retamae nodulate the endemic Retama dasycarpa in the High Atlas Mountains |url=https://academic.oup.com/femsec/article/doi/10.1093/femsec/fiad038/7109262 |journal=FEMS Microbiology Ecology |language=en |volume=99 |issue=5 |doi=10.1093/femsec/fiad038 |pmid=37019822 |issn=1574-6941}} Plants studied in the Al-Maamora Forest contained strains most closely related to B. lupini, B. cytisi, and B. canariense plus one putative new species.{{Cite journal |last1=Kaddouri |first1=Kaoutar |last2=Alami |first2=Soufiane |last3=Bouhnik |first3=Omar |last4=Lamrabet |first4=Mouad |last5=Chaddad |first5=Zohra |last6=Bennis |first6=Meryeme |last7=Mnasri |first7=Bacem |last8=Bedmar |first8=Eulogio J. |last9=Bourgerie |first9=Sylvain |last10=Mourabito |first10=Domenico |last11=Abdelmoumen |first11=Hanaa |last12=Badaoui |first12=Bouabid |last13=Missbah El Idrissi |first13=Mustapha |date=September 2024 |title=Nodulation of the endemic Retama dasycarpa by Bradyrhizobium spp. in the Maamora forest |url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/s13199-024-01016-z |journal=Symbiosis |language=en |volume=94 |issue=1 |pages=81–94 |doi=10.1007/s13199-024-01016-z |bibcode=2024Symbi..94...81K |issn=0334-5114}} Certain strains of Bradyrhizobium were shown to enhance the resilience to drought in R. dasycarpa.{{Cite journal |last1=Lamrabet |first1=Mouad |last2=Chaddad |first2=Zohra |last3=Bouhnik |first3=Omar |last4=Kaddouri |first4=Kaoutar |last5=Alami |first5=Soufiane |last6=Bennis |first6=Meryeme |last7=Mnasri |first7=Bacem |last8=Abdelmoumen |first8=Hanaa |last9=El Idrissi |first9=Mustapha Missbah |date=November 2024 |title=Effect of native plant growth promoting osmotolerant bradyrhizobium strains on drought stress tolerance in retama dasycarpa |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0929139324003937 |journal=Applied Soil Ecology |language=en |volume=203 |pages=105662 |doi=10.1016/j.apsoil.2024.105662|bibcode=2024AppSE.20305662L }}
