Symbiotic nitrogen fixation: a launchpad for investigating old and new challenges
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation: a launchpad for investigating old and new challenges Legumes establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogenfixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms within root nodules, a process regulated by complex signalling, gene expression, and energy balance.In this Virtual Issue, research articles and reviews that discuss the latest plant-oriented advances in biological nitrogen fixation were collected to provide an updated view of the biochemical and molecular aspects of different steps of the nodulation process.
