It emphasizes the application of biological nitrogen fixation for sustainable agriculture, which should lead to poverty alleviation, environmental protection, and good agricultural practices generally. The roles of, and advances in, plant breeding, plant molecular biology, nodule physiology, and symbiotic and associative interactions between plants and microbes in sustaining agricultural productivity and soil fertility are described. The evolution of symbioses and nitrogen fixation are also covered in this volume. To ensure high agricultural productivity, while protecting the environment (both soil and water resources), requires plant cultivars that also respond to beneficial microbes. The volume, therefore, describes the physiology and genomics of nitrogen-fixing bacteria together with the biochemistry and molecular genetics of the nitrogenase enzyme that actually fixes atmospheric nitrogen to a usable form. This volume, which covers the most recent data on the role of nitrogen fixation in agriculture and forestry and on the biology of both plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes, is intended to serve as a useful reference for students and researchers, both in the laboratory (academic and commercial) and in the field. 410 0$aCurrent plant science and biotechnology in agriculture ;$v42. 606 $aNitrogen in agriculture$vCongresses 606 $aNitrogen$xFixation$vCongresses 615 0$aNitrogen in agriculture 615 0$aNitrogen$xFixation 676 $a572.545 676 $a589 701 $aDakora$b Felix D$01752161 712 12$aInternational Conference of the African Association for Biological Nitrogen Fixation$d(12th :$f2008? :$eCape Town, South Africa) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822132603321 996 $aBiological nitrogen fixation$94187391 997 $aUNINA
