Fixation of isotopic nitrogen by excised nodules.
After 60 years of research in symbiotic nitrogen fixation, the agent of fixation has not been established. Apparently only two biological species, leguminous plants and Rhisobium, are essential (l), but attempts to separate the components have been unsuccessful. Unequivocal fixation by the intact nodule excised from a plant actively fixing nitrogen has not been demonstrated. Ordinarily, cells o...
متن کاملLegume Haemoglobins: Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Needs Bloody Nodules
How do plants create an environment in which symbiotic bacteria can reduce enough N2 to provide the plant with sufficient ammonium for growth? Gene silencing has now been used to show that legume haemoglobins are crucial.
متن کاملNitrogen fixation and carbon metabolism in legume nodules.
A large amount of energy is utilized by legume nodules for the fixation of nitrogen and assimilation of fixed nitrogen (ammonia) into organic compounds. The source of energy is provided in the form of photosynthates by the host plant. Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) enzyme, which is responsible for carbon dioxide fixation in C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism plants, has also been foun...
متن کاملSymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legume Nodules: Metabolism and Regulatory Mechanisms
The special issue "Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legume Nodules: Metabolism and Regulatory Mechanisms" aims to investigate the physiological and biochemical advances in the symbiotic process with an emphasis on nodule establishment, development and functioning. The original research articles included in this issue provide important information regarding novel aspects of nodule metabolism and v...
متن کاملThe Effect of Potassium on the Fixation of Molecular Nitrogen by Root Nodules of Vicia faba.
The effect of potassium supply of Vicia faba on the fixation of molecular nitrogen by root nodules was studied by using (15)N-labeled molecular nitrogen. Plants well supplied with potassium showed higher contents of (15)N in the soluble amino fraction and in the protein fraction of various plant organs as compared with plants of a lower potassium status. This effect was evident particularly in ...
