The importance of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in securing food production for the
growing world population with minimal environmental cost has been increasingly …

Recurring patterns are an integral part of life on Earth. Through evolution or breeding, plants
have acquired systems that coordinate with the cyclic patterns driven by Earth's movement …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

BACKGROUND Since available arable land is limited and nitrogen fertilizers pollute the
environment, cropping systems ought to be developed that do not rely on them. Here we …

N2 fixation is a major component of the global N cycle and has been extensively studied in
open‐ocean and terrestrial ecosystems. Yet rates and ecological dynamics remain virtually …

Azolla is a small, free-floating water fern with a global distribution. Azolla can be used as a
feedstock because it is high in proteins, fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins. Low economic …

Indiscriminate disposal of the solid waste generated from various agricultural practices and
agro-based industries causes detrimental effects on the environment. Utilization of the waste …

Azolla is a free-floating hydrophyte fern grown in temperate and tropical regions. The
specialized dorsal leaves of the fern possess cavity that harbors cyanobacteria capable of …

Aquatic plants have been shown to improve performance when included in bird diets at an
early stage, particularly when used to provide a small portion of the total protein needed …

Questions about in vivo substrates for proanthocyanidin (PA) biosynthesis and condensation
have not been resolved and wide gaps in the understanding of transport and biogenesis in …
