Nitrogen fixation inAzolla-Anabaenasymbiosis as affected by mineral nutrient status

Legume Growth and Nitrogen Fixation as Affected by Plant Competition for Light and for Soil Nitrogen'

395 ABSTRACT Since the legume responses to environmental factors may be different in grass mixtures than in pure stands, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant top and root competition on the growth and N fixation of Desmodium intortum, cv. ‘Greenleaf’ grown in association with Setaria anceps, cv. 'Nandi' The plants were grown in deep, narrow pots which provided for ± t...

Growth and nitrogen content of sunflower as affected by the rate and form of nitrogen

Nitrogen Assimilation and Protein Synthesis in Wheat Seedlings as Affected by Mineral Nutrition. II. Micronutrients.

Activity of nitrate reductase from Triticum aestivum L. seedlings was decreased by deficiencies of molybdenum, zinc, and chlorine. Nitrate accumulated in molybdenum-deficient seedlings, declined in zinc-deficient seedlings, and was unaffected by the other micronutrient treatments. Glutamic acid dehydrogenase activity was decreased by deficiency of molybdenum, the only nutrient that affected the...

Nitrogen fixation of nodulation mutants of soybean as affected by nitrate.

It was previously reported that three soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) nodulation mutants (NOD1-3, NOD2-4, and NOD3-7) were partially tolerant to nitrate when nitrate was supplied simultaneously with inoculation at the time of transplanting. The current study evaluated the effect of short-term nitrate treatment on nitrogenase activity (C(2)H(2) reduction per plant and per nodule weight) and on ...

Nitrogen Fixation by Ceanothus.

The rapidity of successioni of Ceanothus species in burned-over areas where they are indigenous and the apparent enhancing effect which these species have on the development of other shrubs and ground cover suggests that Ceanothus has a soil-improvement effect and implies the fixation of nitrogen. Nodulation of some species of Ceanothus was observed as early as 1912 (3). Bottomley and also Petr...
