Nature Communications, 2016 The sensitivity of nitrogenase to oxygen is a major barrier to engineer biological nitrogen fixation into cereal crops by direct nif gene transfer. Here the authors use yeast to show that targeting nitrogenase Fe protein to the mitochondrial matrix ...

Application of photosynthetic N2-fixing cyanobacteria to the CELSS program [PDF]
Commercially available air lift fermentors were used to simultaneously monitor biomass production, N2-fixation, photosynthesis, respiration, and sensitivity to oxidative damage during growth under various nutritional and light regimes, to establish a ...

Editing a gibberellin receptor gene improves yield and nitrogen fixation in soybean
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 75-95, January 2026.Knockout of the soybean gibberellin receptor gene GmGID1‐2 reduced plant height; strengthened stems; increased the number of branches, nodes, pods, and seeds; and improved yield, seed oil content and nitrogen fixation. ABSTRACT Soybean is an important source of oil, protein, and feed. However, its yield is far below that of major cereal crops.

Is there a niche complementarity for nitrate uptake among savannah shrub and tree species in a very deep Brazilian soil? [PDF]
, 2019 Belowground niche complementarity between deep-rooted and shallow-rooted species in mixed forests may result in a more complete exploitation of soil resources than in monocultures.

Physiology of nitrogen: A life or death matter
Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 270-282, 1 January 2026.Abstract With each breath, four out of every five molecules we inspire are nitrogen (N2), since this gas constitutes ∼80% of the atmospheric air that surrounds us. Despite its abundance and unlike molecular oxygen, N2 has traditionally held less appeal among physiologists given its lack of reactivity and corresponding inability to support combustion or
