Abstract
- The availability of nitrogen is a major limitation to crop production.
- Tackling the nitrogen problem is vital for sustainable and secure food production.
- Some bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen to a form available to other organisms.
- Crop plants could be engineered to associate with nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
- Crop plants could be engineered to express nitrogenase, the nitrogen-fixing enzyme.
