Nitrogen is crucial for all known life, but it is predominantly found in its most unreactive form, gaseous dinitrogen (N 2). The challenging process of nitrogen fixation, in which dinitrogen is ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Leguminous plants have a mechanism (rhizobial symbiosis) to efficiently acquire nitrogen, which is an essential macronutrient for growth, through the nitrogen-fixing bacteria ...

IMA peptides regulate root nodulation and nitrogen homeostasis by providing iron according to internal nitrogen status. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-44865-4 Cite ...

For fixation, nitrogen fixing isolates target free associated nitrogen in the soil’s pore space. For recruitment of increased biological activity, a signal response mechanism recruits more plant ...

A genetic “off switch” that shuts down nitrogen fixation when soil nitrate levels are high has been identified by a global group of scientists. The regulator gene was successfully removed, to ...

CRISPR technique boosts nitrogen fixation in beans, reduces fertilizer use, and supports sustainable farming for a better agricultural future. The post CRISPR Technique Boosts Nitrogen Fixation in ...

Nitrogen fixation, which is an essential process for the survival of all living organisms, remains an important part of the research. “Nitrogen is incredibly abundant in our atmosphere and vital for ...

Ever wanted to produce nitrogen fertilizer like they did in the 1900s? In that case, you’re probably looking at the Birkeland-Eyde process, which was the first industrial-scale atmospheric ...
