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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Depth-integrated N₂ fixation rate ranged between 7.5 μmol N m−2 d−1 and 163.1 μmol N m−2 d−1 (average 46.4 μmol N m−2 d−1). Our results indicate that N₂ fixation is unlikely limited by Fe availability ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
