Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Proceedings of the 14th North American C
During the past three decades there has been a large amount of research on biological nitrogen fixation, in part stimulated by increasing world prices of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and environmental concerns. In the last several years, research on pl
