| All soybeans, including edamame, are legumes that host beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots. |
|
| Plants with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots make a good test bed for probing the give-and-take of biological partnerships. |
|
| This, researchers say, caused the population of a particular nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the water to increase as well. |
|
| The partnership between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants is one example. |
|
| Root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria are often associated with the roots. |
|
| As is typical of legumes, nitrogen-fixing bacteria exist in a symbiotic relationship with the tick trefoil. |
|
| Also fumigation could be detrimental to vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi needed for normal growth of some crops and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. |
|
| But nitrogen-fixing bacteria are providing an answer. |
|
| Two kinds of nitrogen-fixing bacteria are recognized. |
|
| According to the authors, the cultivation of herbicide-resistant soy itself is not at all sustainable: The herbicide that is to be used with the seed destroys nitrogen-fixing bacteria. |
|
| Using plants that form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as pulse crops, in the field rotation is helping to reduce the need for added fertilizers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
| Nitrogen-fixing bacteria ensure healthy plants and ecosystems. |
