A new role for nitrate reductase in regulating nitrogen-responsive nodulation

phys.org · 2hShare

This root nodule symbiosis enables plants to use atmospheric nitrogen for growth, reducing their dependence on nitrogen fertilizers. Applying this characteristic is highly promising for developing sustainable agricultural systems.
