From Plant Protoplasts to Diazoplasts: the Challenge of Establishing Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Cereals
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a fitting testimonial to the unique scientific contributions, in the disparate fields of electromagnetic waves and plant life, of Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose FRS that his bust commemorating his 150th Birth Anniversary now stands alongside that of Charles Darwin FRS in the garden of Christ’s College Cambridge. It is also a fitting testimonial that latest developments in the plant sciences from plant physiology to plant biology should be highlighted in this 150th Birth Anniversary Commemorative International Symposium; Bose was unusual as a physicist in taking up biological materials for his investigations.

“Biological Nitrogen Fixation” Book Summary
Biological nitrogen fixation is a very valuable alternative to nitrogen fertilizer. This process will be discussed in the “Biological Nitrogen Fixation” book. A wide array of free-living and associative nitrogen fixing organisms (diazotrophs) will be covered. The most extensively studied and applied example of biological nitrogen fixation is the symbiotic interaction between nitrogen fixing “rh...
متن کاملEnhancing Non-symbiotic N2 Fixation in Agriculture
Much of the demand for nitrogen (N) in cereal cropping systems is met by using N fertilisers, but the cost of production is increasing and there are also environmental concerns. This has led to a growing interest in exploring other sources of N such as biological N2 fixation. Non-symbiotic N2 fixation (by free-living bacteria in soils or associated with the rhizosphere) has the potential to mee...
متن کاملNAD1 Controls Defense-Like Responses in Medicago truncatula Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixing Nodules Following Rhizobial Colonization in a BacA-Independent Manner
Legumes form endosymbiotic interaction with host compatible rhizobia, resulting in the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Within symbiotic nodules, rhizobia are intracellularly accommodated in plant-derived membrane compartments, termed symbiosomes. In mature nodule, the massively colonized cells tolerate the existence of rhizobia without manifestation of visible defense responses, in...
متن کاملEfficient Inactivation of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Related Genes in Lotus japonicus Using CRISPR-Cas9
The targeted genome editing technique, CRISPR/Cas9 system, has been widely used to modify genes of interest in a predictable and precise manner. In this study, we describe the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated efficient editing of representative SNF (symbiotic nitrogen fixation) related genes in the model legume Lotus japonicus via Agrobacterium-mediated stable or hairy root transformation. We first predict...
متن کاملThe Role of Different Genes Involoved in Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation - Review
On the contrast to the well known, that there are other different genes involved in symbiotic nitrogen fixation in addition to nod, nif and fix genes. In this review we will discuss up to date the function of genes that can play a significant role in symbiotic N fixation such as nodulation, nitrogen fixation, production of 2 exopolysaccharides, Type I to Type VI secretion systems and other diff...
