While companion planting can be used to benefit the garden, it's also important to keep certain plants away from one another, ...

"Its mutualistic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria increases the supply of the nutrient to its roots in exchange for ...

Working in the Viral Informatics and Ecology Lab, Toth will focus on bacteriophages, or bacteria viruses, that attack specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria and learn more about the phenome to genome ...

If corn was ever jealous of soybean's relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day level the playing field. A recent study from the University of Illinois ...

Soil inoculation with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria to supplement maize fertilizer need. Agronomy Journal , 2024; 117 (1) DOI: 10.1002/agj2.21729 Cite This Page : ...

A major component of this research is the use of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering to enhance the capabilities of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. “AI tools are incredibly helpful for ...

(Read "The Next Green Revolution" in National Geographic magazine.) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria (shown here in a soybean root) are able to convert nitrogen from the air into a form that plants can use.

Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those characteristics is the goal of NDSU research started in October 2024.

That’s important because oxygen interferes with the bacteria’s fixing of nitrogen from the air—in legumes, the nodules keep the oxygen out. The team landed on a biofilm-boosting compound ...

Announced in 2018, researchers from University of California, Davis, the University of Wisconsin and Mars Inc., continue to study a tropical variety of corn from Mexico that can fix atmospheric ...

Agritech giant Bayer, for instance, has a partnership with synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks to develop more efficient nitrogen-fixing strains of bacteria. Another is Massachusetts-based ...
