This volume covers recent developments in both fundamental and
applied research in biological nitrogen fixation. It emphasizes the
application of biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable
agriculture, which should lead to poverty alleviation,
environmental protection, and good agricultural practices
generally. The roles of, and advances in, plant breeding, plant
molecular biology, nodule physiology, and symbiotic and associative
interactions between plants and microbes in sustaining agricultural
productivity and soil fertility are described. The evolution of
symbioses and nitrogen fixation are also covered in this volume. To
ensure high agricultural productivity, while protecting the
environment (both soil and water resources), requires plant
cultivars that also respond to beneficial microbes. The volume,
therefore, describes the physiology and genomics of nitrogen-fixing
bacteria together with the biochemistry and molecular genetics of
the nitrogenase enzyme that actually fixes atmospheric nitrogen to
a usable form.
This volume, which covers the most recent data on the role of
nitrogen fixation in agriculture and forestry and on the biology of
both plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes, is intended to serve as a
useful reference for students and researchers, both in the
laboratory (academic and commercial) and in the field.
