Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialised root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...
Researchers demonstrate that the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) is essential for the formation and maturation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules in legumes and can also increase nodule size. Researchers ...
Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have developed wheat plants that stimulate the production of their own fertilizer, opening the path toward less air and water pollution worldwide and ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 21, No. 68 (August 1970), pp. 776-786 (11 pages) Root temperature greatly affected plant growth whether or not plants depended on symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The ...
The effect of exogenous applications of gibberellins (GAs) or the growth retardant ß-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC) on root nodule formation and activity (C₂H₂-reduction) in soya was ...
