Legumes establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen- fixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into us- able forms within root nodules, a process regulated by complex signalling, gene expression, and energy bal- ance. In this Virtual Issue, research articles and reviews that discuss the latest plant-oriented advances in bi- ological nitrogen fixation were collected to provide an updated view of the biochemical and molecular aspects of different steps of the nodulation process.

Abstract

Legumes establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen- fixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into us- able forms within root nodules, a process regulated by complex signalling, gene expression, and energy bal- ance. In this Virtual Issue, research articles and reviews that discuss the latest plant-oriented advances in bi- ological nitrogen fixation were collected to provide an updated view of the biochemical and molecular aspects of different steps of the nodulation process.
