This reaction proceeds through a different mechanism from that of nitrogen fixation, however, and is known to be catalysed efficiently by molybdenum-based catalysts 12. The synthetic cluster ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Leguminous plants have a mechanism (rhizobial symbiosis ... Iron is needed for the enzymes that catalyze nitrogen fixation; however, where and how iron is transported to the ...

Improved understanding of these genetic mechanisms could in the coming ... of the genetic material necessary for atmospheric nitrogen fixation to plants like cereals, which do not possess this ...

"This nitrogen-fixation mechanism is tightly regulated. If you want to optimize nitrogen fixation, you need to engineer the bacteria to be able to fix nitrogen all the time, constitutively.

Since the discovery of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), the lab has had ... to a general lack of information about the molecular mechanisms by which PGPB stimulate plant growth.

Special Feature Issue on Nitrogen Fixation, in the invited article, "A methyldiazene (HN=N-CH3) derived species bound to the nitrogenase active-site FeMo cofactor: Implications for mechanism," by ...

When zinc gets low under high nitrate conditions, FUN shuts off nitrogen fixation in nodules ... that finding this new gene and uncovering its mechanism of action has given him a lot more ...

But the researchers deleted one of the two genes that controls this mechanism and moved a promoter within the genome so that nitrogen fixation capabilities stay on full-time. This allows growers ...

Such nitrogen fixation, as it is known, is a fundamental limit on plant growth and an essential nutrient for all life. Yet, this critically important cycle remains poorly understood. "We don't ...

Recently, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have uncovered the mechanism behind SL perception and its key role in the tillering response to nitrogen. The "gas and brake ...
