Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 40, No. 214 (May 1989), pp. 535-542 (8 pages) Quantification of N2 fixation by pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in the field has proved difficult using ...

Nitrogen fixation is surprisingly high in the ocean's coastal waters and may play a larger role than expected in carbon dioxide uptake, a new study shows. The findings -- based on thousands of samples ...

Vol. 254, No. 1, Frankia symbiosis: Proceedings of the 12th International meeting on Frankia and Actinorhizal Plants, Carry-le-Rouet, France, June 2001 (July (I) 2003), pp. 11-17 (7 pages) The extent ...

It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can carry out N 2 fixation. It was assumed that the high levels of oxygen ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

Breakthrough in N 2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N 2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By ...

Her greenhouse-grown soybean plants fix twice as much nitrogen from the atmosphere as their natural counterparts, grow larger and produce up to 36 percent more seeds. Tegeder designed a novel way to ...

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic ...

Semiconductor nanocrystals drive nitrogenase to photochemically convert nitrogen to ammonia. Our work with collaborators from NREL, Utah State University, and Montana State University appears in ...
