New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1458-1474, November 2025.Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

Chasing after Non-cyanobacterial Nitrogen Fixation in Marine Pelagic Environments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Traditionally, cyanobacterial activity in oceanic photic layers was considered responsible for the marine pelagic dinitrogen (N2) fixation. Other potentially N2-fixing bacteria and archaea have also been detected in the pelagic water column, however, the

Expression of 16 Nitrogenase Proteins within the Plant Mitochondrial Matrix
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The industrial production and use of nitrogenous fertilizer involves significant environmental and economic costs. Strategies to reduce fertilizer dependency are required to address the world's increasing demand for sustainable food, fibers, and biofuels.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 5146-5160, November 2025.ABSTRACT Nitrogen availability remains a principal constraint to crop productivity. Plants cannot directly assimilate the abundant nitrogen available in our atmosphere; instead, they rely on the uptake of inorganic forms of nitrogen, such as ammonium and nitrate from the soil.

Nitrogenase bioelectrocatalysis: heterogeneous ammonia and hydrogen production by MoFe protein
, 2016 Nitrogenase is the only enzyme known to catalyze the reduction of N2 to 2NH3. In vivo, the MoFe protein component of nitrogenase is exclusively reduced by the ATP-hydrolyzing Fe protein in a series of transient association/dissociation steps that are ...
