Field trials on nitrogen-fixing microbes in corn have yet to show reliable yield benefits, but work continues on their ...

I f corn was ever jealous of soybean's relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day level the playing field. A recent study from the University of ...

The bacteria then begin to fix the nitrogen required by the plant. Access to the fixed nitrogen allows the plant to produce leaves fortified with nitrogen that can be recycled throughout the plant.

For example, root exudates from legume plants (e.g., peas, clover, soybeans) serve as a signal to certain species of Rhizobium, which are nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This signal attracts the ...

While most vegetation types must extract most of their nutrients from fertile soil, mesquites and similar plants receive additional nitrogen from symbiotic bacteria, which enzymatically fix ...

Excitingly, the team used genetic approaches to show that the same gene mutation in wheat enhances colonization by nitrogen fixing bacteria and AMF in field conditions too. The findings represent ...
