A valence-delocalised osmium dimer capable of dinitrogen photocleavage
The search for molecular catalysts that efficiently activate or cleave the dinitrogen molecule is an active field of research. While many thermal dinitrogen cleavage catalysts are known, the photochemical activation of N...
Dancing to a different tune, can we switch from chemical to biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable food security?
Our current food production systems are unsustainable, driven in part through the application of chemically fixed nitrogen. We need alternatives to empower farmers to maximise their productivity sustainably. Therefore, we...

The small Ca2+-binding protein CSE links Ca2+ signalling with nitrogen metabolism and filament integrity in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120.
BACKGROUND: Filamentous cyanobacteria represent model organisms for investigating multicellularity. For many species, nitrogen-fixing heterocysts are formed from photosynthetic vegetative cells under nitrogen limitation....
A plant's diet, surviving in a variable nutrient environment.
As primary producers, plants rely on a large aboveground surface area to collect carbon dioxide and sunlight and a large underground surface area to collect the water and mineral nutrients needed to support their growth and...
Nodulation and nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula strongly alters the abundance of its root microbiota and subtly affects its structure.
