biological nitrogen fixation (Vance 2001). The reduction of atmospheric nitrogen is a complex process that requires a large input of energy to proceed (Postgate 1982). The nitrogen molecule is ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious ... themselves during the process of photosynthesis.

This signal attracts the bacteria to the roots, and a very complex series of events then occurs to initiate uptake of the bacteria into the root and trigger the process of nitrogen fixation in ...

An oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage ... by plants themselves during the process of photosynthesis. Philipp Franke ...

by using green manure or growing legumes to fix nitrogen from the air through the process of biological nitrogen fixation; by micro-dose fertilizer applications, to replenish losses through plant ...

However, this energy-intensive biological process is reduced when nitrogen ... The latest discovery of the genetic regulator that turns off nitrogen fixation when soil nitrate levels are high ...

Our results indicate that N₂ fixation is unlikely limited by Fe availability in the NWSCS continental waters, instead, the coastal upwelling-induced combined effects of physical and biological ...

Thus, the researchers Josefa Muñoz Alamillo and Cristina María López focused on the study of the enzyme dedicated to the recycling of adenine in the nitrogen fixation cycle (adenine ...

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is pushing for the judicious use of nitrogen to prevent soil degradation and nutrient depletion and halt global warming. FAO stressed ...
