Selection of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars based on their symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) could reduce the fertilizer N requirement. The nifH gene in the bacterial symbiont facilitates the organic N assimilation by N‐assimilatory enzymes ...

Leveraging Microbe-Rhizosphere Interactions in Organic Farming Systems: A Route to Sustainable Soybean Production. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a major legume crop of global agricultural significance, and its yield is heavily dependent on the rhizospheric microbes. Conventional farming systems can enhance yields in the short term but often at the expense of soil health and biodiversity. Organic farming systems, by contrast, avoid the use of synthetic inputs

Comparative study of endophytic and endophytic diazotrophic bacterial communities across rice landraces grown in the highlands of northern Thailand [PDF]
Communities of bacterial endophytes within the rice landraces cultivated in the highlands of northern Thailand were studied using fingerprinting data of 16S rRNA and nifH genes profiling by polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel ...

Nitrogen Fixation Mutants of the Actinobacterium Frankia Casuarinae CcI3 [PDF]
Frankia is a representative genus of nitrogen-fixing (N2-fixing) actinobacteria; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena such as the differentiation of a N2 fixation-specific structure (vesicle) and the regulation of N2 fixation ...

The Abundance of the nifH Gene Became Higher and the nifH-Containing Diazotrophic Bacterial Communities Changed During Primary Succession in the Hailuogou Glacier Chronosequence, China [PDF]
Primary successional ecosystems and the related soil development are often N limited. To date, N2-fixing communities during primary succession in alpine ecosystems have remained underexplored. In this study, we applied quantitative PCR (qPCR) quantitation and targeted amplicon sequencing of nifH in the Hailuogou Glacier foreland to investigate the ...

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is the reduction of N2 into NH3 in a group of prokaryotes by an extremely O2-sensitive protein complex called nitrogenase. Transfer of the BNF pathway directly into plants, rather than by association with microorganisms,

Nodulation of Shepherdia ×utahensis ‘Torrey’ and the Diversity of Symbiotic Frankia Strains
Shepherdia ×utahensis ‘Torrey’ (hybrid buffaloberry) is an actinorhizal plant that can form symbiotic nodules with the actinobacterial genus Frankia. However, little research has been conducted to investigate the presence of Frankia in their nodules and ...

Model for eukaryotic tail-anchored protein binding based on the structure of Get3 [PDF]
The Get3 ATPase directs the delivery of tail-anchored (TA) proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). TA-proteins are characterized by having a single transmembrane helix (TM) at their extreme C terminus and include many essential proteins, such as ...

Nucleotide sequence of the R.meliloti nitrogenase reductase (nifH) gene
The nucleotide sequence of the structural gene (nifH) of nitrogenase reductase (Fe protein) from R.meliloti 41 with its flanking ends is reported. The amino acid sequence of nitrogenase reductase was deduced from the DNA sequence. The predicted R.meliloti nitrogenase reductase protein consists of 297 amino acid residues, has a molecular weight of 32 ...

Association of the L‐cluster with the nitrogenase assembly proteins NifEN (NifENL) or NifB (NifBL) intrinsically endows these proteins with N2‐reducing activity, enabling in vitro N2‐reduction by NifENL and NifBL when supplied with chemical reductants or photoexcited quantum dots while supporting in vivo N2‐fixation in NifENL‐ and NifENL‐expressing ...
