Doubling nitrogen fixation in soybeans could boost yields, reduce fertilizer need. Mechthild Tegeder, a Washington State University biologist, designed a novel way to increase the flow of nitrogen from specialized bacteria in soybean root nodules to the seed-producing organs. She and Amanda Carter, a biological sciences graduate student, found the increased rate of nitrogen transport kicked the plants into overdrive. Yet another way genetic modification could save human lives.

As the Supreme Court debates the patentability of human genes, the media argues about whether patents help or hinder genetic research. The Genetic Literacy Project asserts that when public access and private interests are balanced, intellectual property protection can play an important role in spurring innovation.

Rhizobium. These are bacterial root nodules on the root of runner bean Phaseolus coccineus. Each nodule contains a population of Rhizobium bacteria that are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into soluble forms of nitrogen that the plant can use for growth - which is what makes this symbiotic association between plant and bacterium so valuable for agriculture.

These are bacterial root nodules on the root of runner bean Phaseolus coccineus. Each nodule contains a population of Rhizobium bacteria that are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into soluble forms of nitrogen that the plant can use for growth - which is what makes this symbiotic association between plant and bacterium so valuable for agriculture. In annual legume crops, once the bean crop has been harvested the root nodules decay and release nitrogen in the soil, where it can…
