During the past three decades there has been a large amount of
research on biological nitrogen fixation, in part stimulated by
increasing world prices of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and
environmental concerns. In the last several years, research on
plant-microbe interactions, and symbiotic and asymbiotic nitrogen
fixation has become truly interdisciplinary in nature, stimulated
to some degree by the use of modern genetic techniques. These
methodologies have allowed us to make detailed analyses of plant
and bacterial genes involved in symbiotic processes and to follow
the growth and persistence of the root-nodule bacteria and
free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soils. Through the efforts
of a large number of researchers we now have a better understanding
of the ecology of rhizobia, environmental parameters affecting the
infection and nodulation process, the nature of specificity, the
biochemistry of host plants and microsymbionts, and chemical
signalling between symbiotic partners. This volume gives a summary
of current research efforts and knowledge in the field of
biological nitrogen fixation. Since the research field is diverse
in nature, this book presents a collection of papers in the major
research areas of physiology and metabolism, genetics, evolution,
taxonomy, ecology, and international programmes.
