For all living organisms, nitrogen is an essential element, while being the most limiting in
ecosystems and for crop production. Despite the significant contribution of synthetic …

The demand for nitrogen (N) for crop production increased rapidly from the middle of the
twentieth century and is predicted to at least double by 2050 to satisfy the on-going …

Plants are associated with a complex microbiota that contributes to nutrient acquisition, plant
growth, and plant defense. Nitrogen-fixing microbial associations are efficient and well …

Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two
decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based …

Although the global nitrogen (N) cycle is largely driven by soil microbes, plant root exudates
can profoundly modify soil microbial communities and influence their N transformations. A …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

Global demand to increase food production and simultaneously reduce synthetic nitrogen
fertilizer inputs in agriculture are underpinning the need to intensify the use of legume crops …

Nitrogen is an essential element contained in many biomolecules necessary to sustain life.
1, 2 This element is abundantly available in Earth's atmosphere in the form of dinitrogen …

Losses of nitrogen from the soil/plant system not only reduce soil fertility and plant yield but
can also create adverse impacts on the environment. Ammonia emissions into the …

Agriculture stands on the cusp of a digital revolution, and the same technologies that created
the Internet and are transforming medicine are now being applied in our farms and on our …
