Biochemical approaches to improved nitrogen fixation [abstract]. XIII National Congress of Biochemistry and Plant Molecular Biology and 6th Symposium Mexico-USA, November 9-13, 2009, Guanajuato, Mexico. 2009 CDROM.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: Improving symbiotic nitrogen fixation by legumes has emerged again as an important topic on the world scene due to the energy crisis and lack of access to nitrogen fertilizer in developing countries. We have taken a biochemical genomics approach to improving symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes. Leveraging genomics discoveries towards biotechnology research has led to promising results in enhancing carbon metabolism in root nodules and delivery of nitrogen to the plant. We will discuss how altering malate metabolism may be a key to improved symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
