TL;DR: In this article, a minireview highlights the fundamental advances in our understanding of biological nitrogen fixation in the context of a blueprint for expanding symbiotic nitrogen fixation to a greater diversity of crop plants through synthetic biology.

TL;DR: Interestingly, nodulated plants exhibited systemic changes in both LjSPDS and Lj SPMS transcript levels and polyamine content in roots, stem and leaves, in comparison to uninoculated plants, giving new insights into the neglected role of polyamines during nodule development and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF).

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of two Type I-like MADS-box genes from barley, a monocot cereal crop of high agronomic importance, are reported, found to be induced by ABA and JA and suggestive of epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

TL;DR: It is suggested that spectral light changes leading to biochemical and metabolic manipulation of microalga N. gaditana can be accomplished by light filtering of solar irradiance, a cost-effective method which could be routinely applied in large scale photobioreactor cultivating systems.

TL;DR: Divergent substrate specificities, expression profiles, and subcellular localization indicate that plant parvulin-type PPIases are probably involved in a wide range of biochemical and physiological processes.
