Nitrogenase, in particular, plays a critical role in N fixation within the bacteroids of legume nodules. Other molybdoenzymes found in plants include XDH ... higher P accumulation in Mo-applied ...

Traditional phenological measurements are often destructive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. This paper proposes a high-throughput 3D point cloud data processing pipeline to segment field soybean ...

Interestingly, when the researchers looked for 16-OH-CLA in plants, they only detected it in the shoots and not the roots, unlike all the other known strigolactones. What's more, the compound isn ...
