Genetic diversity is important for plant species to persist in Northern forests that experience human nitrogen inputs, a scientists has found. Genetic diversity is important for plant species to ...

The processes that govern the formation of symbiotic structures between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and legumes in the latter's roots remain largely a mystery to science, but researchers have recently ...

A long-term project has been deciphering the recognition mechanisms that are the basis of associations between plants, bacteria and fungi. They discovered that one of the genetic elements of plants ...

Researchers have used CRISPR to engineer rice that encourages soil bacteria to fix nitrogen, which is required for their growth. The findings may reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers needed to ...

Researchers are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. Their work could eventually reduce the need for artificial fertilizer in crops such as wheat, maize, or rice.

Genetic diversity is important for plant species to persist in Northern forests that experience human nitrogen inputs. This is one conclusions that Franziska Bandau at Umeå University in Sweden draws.
