The plant provides sugars from photosynthesis that are utilized by the nitrogen-fixing microorganism for the energy it needs for nitrogen fixation. In exchange for these carbon sources ...

at 100 lb/ac compared to plants receiving no supplemental N (Figure 2). Nitrogen fixation by soybean decreases exponentially as N application rate increases, such that application of 45 lb/ac N can ...

Plants need oxygen for a process called nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen is an important part of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are essential for the structure and ...

The introduction of N-Finity is an extension of Nutrien’s “purpose-built approach” to biologicals, and it brings three ways ...

Just like modern legumes and other plants that use nitrogen fixation, these cycads trade their sugars with bacteria in their roots in exchange for nitrogen plucked from the atmosphere. What originally ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and ... serious problems with the transfer to plants is that nitrogenase is extremely sensitive ...

An oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage ... serious problems with the transfer to plants is that nitrogenase is extremely ...

“It’s a very interesting paper,” said Verena Kreichbaumer, a plant cell biologist at Oxford Brookes University ... like amino acid and pyrimidine biosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation. “Seeing ...

The edited versions boost the activity of a key gene involved in nitrogen fixation, making more of it available to plants. When applied at planting, the bacteria colonize plant roots, delivering ...
