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 ...

A research team from Utah State University, Virginia Tech and Northwestern University asked whether the biological process for nitrogen fixation, carried out by microbes that contain the enzyme ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plants need nitrogen for efficient growth. Each year, farmers worldwide use more than 100 million metric tons of nitrogen fertilizer, which consists of ammonia, nitrates, or other nitrogen ...
